Hardcore Porsche 911 GT2 RS spied with wild aero and track-ready looks

It’s difficult to pin down what the ultimate variant of Porsche 911 is, but there’s lots of evidence to suggest it might just be the GT2 RS. This low-volume and scarily expensive model has long been a sign-off of a 911 generation, pairing the most extreme chassis derived from a GT3 RS with an even more powerful variant of a turbocharged powertrain nicked from the Turbo. For the 992 generation, Porsche looks to be going even further on both counts – if the wild prototype spied testing at the Nurburgring is anything to go by.

First of all, the bodywork looks to be even wider than the one found on the GT3 RS, with cladding fitted on top of the standard rear haunches to hide a new set of prototype wheels that we’ve never before seen on previous Porsche test cars. This is matched at the front, with fat mocked-up arches that retain the arch vents and ducting from the GT3 RS, only much, much wider. 

The carbon-fibre bonnet with the vast openings that vent the radiator is fitted, as is the carbon roof with its longitudinal vanes. These channel air to the motorsport-sized rear wing and its DRS function. However, look closely at the back and you’ll see a number of changes compared with the naturally-aspirated GT3 RS, because not only are new 992.2 rear lights fitted, but also a different lower bumper that evidently hides a new exhaust system.
