Baden-Baden, Germany—What do you get when you have the most powerful, street-legal Porsche ever—the 2011 Porsche GT2 RS, together with former World Rally Champion and road racing genius Walter Röhrl? One helluva riding experience, in the rain! See the car dance by clicking on the following link: Walter Röhrl Slides the GT2 RS

Armed with a specially-tuned, 620 bhp, 516 lb.-ft. of torque, twin-turbo flat-6 engine, the GT2 RS can lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just seven minutes and 18 seconds, besting the Nissan GT-R, Corvette ZR1 and Dodge Viper ACR.

This car is for the hardcore enthusiast who seeks the ultimate Porsche driving experience: 6-speed manual transmission, carbon-ceramic brakes, ball-joint suspension control arms, weight-savings from pull-strap door handles inside, a/c delete and carbon-fiber components such as the hood and the front fenders. According to the factory, the RS clocks 0-60 mph sprint in 3.4 sec., with a top speed of 205 mph limited by gearing.

There will only be a limited production of 500 GT2 RS units worldwide, with a starting price of $245,000. The car will be available in the US starting October. Get your orders in now!
