Robb Report on the GT2 RS: "Porsche Outdoes Itself"

Nice little article about the GT2 RS:



"While Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin all rely on V-12 engines to power their top-of-the-line performers, Porsche engineers continue to squeeze every ounce of performance from their tried-and-true in-line six-cylinder motor. With a massaged version of the 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine found in the last year’s GT2, the RS model cranks out an additional 90 horsepower, upping output to 620 horsepower. This added power helps the GT2 RS reach its 205 mph top speed and claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds. Believe it or not: Porsche is actually notorious for being conservative with this figure. To top it all off, this tuned-up 911 weighs in at an ultra-svelte 3,020 pounds, making it as light—and as lithe—as a Lotus Elise.
