Porsche 911 GT2 RS Leaves Mark Webber, Walter Rohrl Speechless
The latest supercar from Porsche has left hardened professional drivers speechless.
The German automaker has released a short video showing drivers Walter Röhrl and Mark Webber, as they climbed out of the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS after a session on the track. Neither driver had much to say about the car, although we’re sure they eventually did. Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS packs 700 horsepower and weighs 3,241 pounds without the Weissach Package, which shaves off another 40 lbs.

Although it’s not confirmed, Porsche Motorsport boss Frank-Steffen Walliser has hinted the 911 GT2 RS is capable of doing a six-minute lap at the Nurburgring, but it appears the automaker hasn’t made an official attempt yet.
We’re sure whoever is behind the wheel for a Nurburgring attempt will have a thing or two to say about the car, especially if turns in a lap in the six-minute range.
