Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
MKSGR:fritz:MKSGR:nberry:Mike, I don't disagree with your premise. Some cars are more difficult to drive regardless of HP. You're an experienced instructor and yet you had difficulty driving the CGT which had 612 hp.It is a rear wheel drive vehicle while your 918 is AWD. I believe this makes the car more manageable. No doubt engineering also contributes to its track usability.
The GT2RS will have close to 700hp and be rear wheel drive. Unless there are nannies available, I believe even an experienced driver like yourself will find it difficult to drive anywhere near its limits.
It is not that simple... for example the 997 GT2RS has 620hp - and is very easy to drive fast on the track, despite RWD. Based on this I feel it would be unlikely that the new GT2 with 650hp (
) will be far more difficult to drive fast. On contrary: I would expect the new version to be quicker and easier to drive considering the new 4-wheel steering alone.
Are you still driving your GT2, Markus?
No, I sold the RS as it had approx. 60.000km and the market price seemed to indicate that selling makes more sense than keeping... The RS is a great car indeed
Right now, I drive the turbo S cabriolet. A great Porsche development as well
Good to see that you still seem to have been pleased with it after 60000km.
