Porsche has set a new record for road legal sports cars on the famous 20.6-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife, in the 911 GT2 RS. This lightweight rear-wheel drive two-seater coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, achieving a top speed of 340 kph with its motorsport-derived drive technology. The record time of six minutes and 47.3 seconds was achieved in the presence of a notary and surpassed even Porsche’s own expectations. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars said: “At the start of the development process, we set ourselves a lap time target for the GT2 RS of less than seven minutes and five seconds.”
