Six minutes and 47.3 seconds. The time represented a result of the
combination of a single flying lap of the N�rburgring Nordschleife,
the 911 GT2 RS, and Porsche factory driver Lars Kern. Amazingly,
this record time from the GT2 RS, 'the most powerful streel-legal
911 model of all time' upon its introduction, bettered the Porsche
918 Spyder hypercar's 2015 N�rburgring lap record by nearly 10
seconds. Quite an achievement by the evergreen 911, a design that
has been sculpted and refined, yet remains a clear member of the
911 family since its introduction at the Geneva Auto Salon nearly
60 years ago. Launched at the 2017 edition of the Goodwood Festival
of Speed, the 2018 911 GT2 RS represents the apex of the
991.2-generation.
Even after nine years, the facts and figures surrounding the 911
GT2 RS remain staggering. Seven hundred horsepower, 553 lb-ft of
torque, zero-to-60 mph in 2.7-seconds, and a top track speed of 211
mph. With such staggering performance channeled through the rear
wheels, it's no wonder so many GT2 RS door sills were emblazoned
with Widowmaker or Witwenmacher and why allocations for the car
were so fiercely prized.
This 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a rare non-Weissach Package example
finished in Mexico Blue, a quintessential Paint to Sample finish
first seen in 1974 that accounts for $12,830 of the car's extensive
option list. The cockpit is equally arresting: trimmed in Black
leather along with Black/Red Alcantara thoughtfully covering the
seat inserts, seatbelts, steering wheel, headliner, and door
handles. Manufactured at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen 12 October 2018,
this example was fitted with a thorough array of desirable options
including the coveted Sport Chrono Package Plus, all-important
Front Axle Lift System, Automatically Dimming Mirrors with
Integrated Rain Sensor, and Extended Range Fuel Tank-bringing fuel
capacity to 23.7 gallons.
According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this example
was delivered new to McKenna Audi Porsche in Norwalk, California in
November 2018. The GT2 RS was sold to its first owner in March
2019, landing in San Luis Obispo, California. The car primarily
resided on California's Central Coast for the next several years
under the ownership of two diligent caretakers. Routine maintenance
was chiefly conducted by Porsche San Luis Obispo, which included
its preliminary 60,000-mile service in September 2025, though
sporting just over 4,000 miles at the time. It briefly moved to
Arizona at the end of the year before arriving at Porsche South
Orlando, who performed its most recent service this past
January.
Nearly a decade on, the 911 GT2 RS remains one of the most
formidable and focused production cars to emerge from Stuttgart; a
definitive expression of Porsche's relentless pursuit of motorsport
perfection. This exceptionally low-mileage example, well-maintained
and brimming with sought-after options including its instantly
recognizable PTS finish, is poised to excel at the world's most
revered circuits or command any canyon road.
