Default Porsche 911 GT2 RS

http://ht.ly/2htHG

Armed with a race-bred engine originally designed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans but now brought to life in a production car as a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-6 with variable turbine geometry (VTG), the GT2 RS sends all of its 620 bhp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque via a 6-speed manual to the rear wheels. According Porsche, zero to 60 mph takes only 3.4 sec, and the 205-mph top speed is limited only by gearing.

looks awesome, but doesn't the new carrera turbo do like 2.9 to 60 and 11.0 in the quarter with the awd? you'd think they'd stick to the awd to keep that beast under control.

+1 on the amazing times of the new PDK turbos, but I think the GT2s have always been two wheel drive

That's what every "GT" model from Porsche is... RWD.

The GT2 is more of a driver's car, gives you the experience of being able to control the vehicle with your input, not a computers.
