Porsche working on 580-hp GT2 RS for the track? - eGMCarTech
Porsche recently took the wraps off its 2009 Porsche 911 GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. According to PistonHeads, Porsche could now be working on a hardcore GT2 RS designed specifically for the track. Sources close to Porsche say that the Porsche GT2 RS will be faster, lighter and more powerful.
The Porsche GT2, which produces 530-hp, is track and road friendly. The RS version will cater to those that want more power for the track. It will feature substantial weight-saving features and power increase.
How much of a power increase you ask? Sources say that output could be increased by a total of 50-hp to a total of 580-hp. It is said that only 10 examples of the Porsche GT2 RS will be build for next spring.

I thought they would have no problem selling the regular GT2 but they are. If they don't over price them they should sell. We'll see I guess.

Considered sold to dealers like the Lamborghini Reventon. That is over priced and they were all "sold" and look, now there is 35% of them for sale. I have a feeling this will happen to the GT2rs.
