Weight savings were targeted with the GT2 RS program, and Porsche fitted multiple carbon-fiber components including the hood, front fender vents, side intakes, side mirrors, and rear wing. The Weissach Package reduces weight further through the use of carbon fiber for the roof panel and the anti-roll bars.

Weight savings were targeted with the GT2 RS program, and Porsche fitted multiple carbon-fiber components including the hood, front fender vents, side intakes, side mirrors, and rear wing. The Weissach Package reduces weight further through the use of carbon fiber for the roof panel and the anti-roll bars. Downforce is increased with a large rear wing, underbody diffuser, and a deeper front fascia, while NACA ducts in the front trunk lid aid in brake cooling. This example is finished in black and features black LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting System, fog lights, and fender vents.
Silver-finished 20″ and 21″ center-lock wheels are mounted with 265/35 front and 325/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The car is equipped with adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Stability Management, and rear-axle steering. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes were standard on the GT2 RS and feature yellow calipers and cross-drilled rotors. The optional front-axle lift raises the car on command to help prevent scraping.
The cabin features seats upholstered in black leather and Alcantara, Weissach embroidery on the headrests, and Platinum Gray stitching that extends to the dashboard and door panels. Carbon-fiber trim accents the interior, and additional amenities include automatic climate control, a CD stereo, a Bose surround sound system, cruise control, the Light Design Package, and PCM infotainment with navigation.
The Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel features lightweight shift paddles and frames a central tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline and a 250-mph speedometer as well as gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 27 miles.
The twin-turbocharged 3.8L flat-six was factory rated at 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Features include an intercooler spray system, a titanium rear exhaust muffler, and a carbon-fiber engine cover.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transaxle and a limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). The car is equipped with an extended-range 23.7-gallon fuel tank.
