The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the fastest 911 that money can buy. It offers jaw dropping supercar performance and starts at just under $300,000.
That price isn’t cheap, but for a car that can lap the Nürburgring in just 6:47.25, it isn’t bad. To put this in perspective, the Porsche 918 Spyder lapped the same circuit in 6:57. That’s the same 918 Spyder that started at a bit under $1,000,000.
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the top of the line 911 model. With 700 horsepower on tap the race car for the street can lap the Nürburgring faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder.
To say it is fast is an understatement. The GT2 RS has a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine sitting in the back. The power plant is quite advanced and even uses water injection to keep things running smoothly at speed.
Buying a new Porsche 911 is the dream of many a sports car enthusiast. The problem most have in affording one is that they are quite expensive.
A base Porsche 911 Carrera currently starts at $91,100. However, if you start adding options the price of the car can quickly cost $115,000.
So, just how long would it take to save up enough money to pay cash for a new $115,000 Porsche 911 Carrera?

While the very first Porsche was a mid-engined vehicle, the later 356 models and the 911 would have there engines in the back (although some of Porsche’s successful road and race machines would use a mid-engine layout). With 70 years of history Porsche has made a number of legendary machines.
Cars like the 356, 911, 550 Spyder and 917 are just a few that come to mind. Their cars are so good, for their time, that even Porsche’s less loved models would be the crown jewel in just about any other automaker’s lineup.
To celebrate 70 years of Porsche the German automaker has unveiled a new 911 Speedster Concept car. The special 911 is a modern machine, but incorporates styling elements from various automobiles from its storied past.
