First posted on TeamSpeed’s forums, the GT2 RS has been unofficially revealed for the first time, including some speculative numbers that will even best the Porsche Carerra GT.
According to a TeamSpeed forum member that was invited to a VIP-only reveal over the weekend, Porsche’s next car in the GT2 family will be a 462 kilowatt track monster, capable of accelerating from zero-to-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. The GT2 RS is also reportedly capable of reaching 200 km/h “well below 10 seconds,” and from zero-to-300 km/h “well below 25 seconds.” The GT2 RS has also been spied testing on the Nurburing, setting a reported best lap time of 7:22.
Although the camera phone picture is lacking in quality, the person who took it claims to also have confirmation that the side intakes and vents around the exhaust will be constructed of carbon fibre. The GT2 RS will borrow some components from the GT3 RS, such as the wheels with centrelocks, a wider front track thanks to extensions and the interior will utilize fabric door pulls.
The GT2 RS will also weigh in at about 90 kilograms less than the GT2, which when coupled with the increased power, should provide for substantially upgraded performance in all regards.
Porsche is scheduled to release the full details on May 14, 2010, with the car set to go on sale in Europe in September 2010.
