Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport ready to race
The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport is the 700 hp racing version of the street-legal 911 GT2 RS sports car.
It will be eligible to run at clubsport events, Porsche Club of America (PCA) track days as well as selected motorsport meets and be limited to 200 units worldwide.
The new racecar is based on the high-performance series production 911 GT2 RS sports car, just like in the 935, which was recently unveiled at Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI in September.
Both share the same engine as their road-legal relative: a state-ofthe-art 3.8-litre flat-six twin-turbocharged engine. Power from the boxer powerplant is transferred via a rigidly mounted seven-speed Porsche dual clutch gearbox (PDK) to the 310 mm wide rear wheels.
Like in all other racing versions of the 911, the driver changes gears via ergonomically positioned shift paddles on the steering wheel.
The positioning of the engine behind the rear axle ensures excellent traction and braking performance.
Like the street-legal 911 GT2 RS, the 1,390 kg Clubsport version is equipped with PSM (Porsche Stability Management) including traction control as well as an antilock braking system (ABS).
Thanks to a map switch positioned on the centre console, these assistance systems can be adjusted separately or switched off completely depending upon the racetrack situation.
The carbon fibre steering wheel and the colour display behind it have been taken from the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 R model.
A built-in safety cage combined with a racing bucket seat and a six-point safety harness ensure maximum safety. Air conditioning provides optimal interior cooling.
The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport carries a base price of (US) $478,000 excluding tax, shipping, and import fees.
