Buy Used/ Pre-Owned Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS
Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS
The Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS experience has always been about more than the numbers, though. Numbers alone are too clinical, even for Porsche fans. There’s the all-encompassing sense of style, the timeless design, the interaction between driver and car, and the accompanying soundtrack from the sonorous flat six engine.

The Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS experience has always been about more than the numbers, though. Numbers alone are too clinical, even for Porsche fans. There’s the all-encompassing sense of style, the timeless design, the interaction between driver and car, and the accompanying soundtrack from the sonorous flat six engine.
With a switch to all-turbo power and downsized engines, it’s the signature naturally aspirated soundtrack that might be most affected by this brave new, eco-friendly world. Replacing an icon is never easy, either, so Porsche’s claims for this new 911 need to stack up. Let’s find out if they do.
Porsche argues that ‘downsizing’ is a harsh reality of modern motoring and we’d better get used to it. The German manufacturer isn’t the first to move in that direction either and certainly won’t be the last. The end result is that we’re now faced with a 911 powered by a 3.0-litre engine.
In fact, Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS representatives would rather we refer to the smaller engines as ‘rightsizing’ rather than downsizing. Porsche sees the current 3.0-litre engine as just right for the new Carrera and Carrera S. With twin-turbo assistance, on paper at least we’re not going to argue, even though the theory that ‘more is more and more is better’ remains.
The raw numbers are as impressive as ever – perhaps even more so when you consider that they are generated by smaller, more efficient engines. Outright power figures of 272kW and 309kW for the Carrera and Carrera S, respectively, are both up from the previous models. The peak torque figures tell the real story, though, especially on road – 450Nm and 500Nm.
Both Carrera and Carrera S deliver that peak torque from a low 1700rpm right up to 5000rpm. That chunky slab of mid range torque is one reason why the new 911 dispatches ever-increasing velocity with ridiculous ease. In Carrera guise, the turbochargers run to 1.3-bar, while the Carrera S runs up to 1.6-bar.
As a result, the Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS 0-100 sprint times are impressive, too. Equipped with PDK and Sport Chrono, Porsche claims a time of 4.2 seconds for the Carrera and 3.9 seconds for the Carrera S. The Turbo models have redefined what we consider fast from a Porsche, but the Carrera’s numbers remain searingly fast.
This new 3.0-litre Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS engine hasn’t just had turbos slapped on it at the 11th hour, either. The all-new flat-six was designed by Porsche, from the outset, with forced induction in mind and, as such, every internal component within has been optimised for that purpose. This filters right through to the improvements in thermal efficiency, which help to keep overall temperatures down.
Boringly, the Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS torque being available so low in the rev range makes for significant advantages in fuel consumption (claimed 7.4L/100km for the Carrera with PDK and 7.7L/100km for the PDK equipped Carrera S). We use the word ‘boringly’ because, if you’re watching the rev counter with one eye and the fuel gauge with the other, you’ve probably bought the wrong sportscar.
The four-wheel steering tightens the turning circle at low speeds, switching focus to directional stability above 50mph, the car changing direction swiftly, the weight out back neatly controlled. But the digital manipulation and eerily flat torque cover (peak pull plateaus from 1700-5000rpm) only adds to the suspicion that the new Carrera S is more of a grand tourer than a hardcore sports car. On the right road, in the right conditions, the 991.2 is brilliant. Period. But sometimes we regretted not being in a somewhat simpler, more old-school 991.1 GTS. And that’s telling.
It may be a predictable answer, but the Porsche 911 Carrera GT2 RS now-turbocharged 911 Carrera S remains a benchmark sports car on this first evidence. Do we regret some of the character bypass caused by turbocharging? For sure. And the ride and composure on rough roads leaves something to be desired.
