The most powerful road-going Porsche 911 to date, the GT2 RS, has sold out.
Porsche 911 enthusiasts have snapped up all 500 units of the 611bhp limited-edition special in the two months since it was revealed at the Moscow motor show, despite a price tag of almost £165,000.

Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six engine; torque stands at 516lb ft and is available from just 2250rpm. It can get form 0-62mph in 3.5sec and go on to reach a top speed of 205mph.
It uses a heavily modified version of the 911 GT3 RS’s chassis, a car that was recently crowned Britain’s Best Driver’s Car by Autocar.Read Autocar's first drive review of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Re: Porsche 911 GT2 RS sells out
The purists will tell you the real sell-out at Porsche was when the 911 went watercooled. :-)
Re: Porsche 911 GT2 RS sells out
Eh? Who said anything about Russians buying them all? It was launched at the Moscow motorshow but so what. I'll wager that yes a fair few have been bought by Oligarch's and their kids but I'd guess even more have gone to true Porschephiles and nationalities of all different sorts. Are you perhaps expressing disatisfaction with your pototo-powered tractor, LOL?
Re: Porsche 911 GT2 RS sells out
can it go off road at harrods. no. thats no good then. at least it has a vaguely sensible 3.6l flat6 (and a rollcage), compared to some ridiculous 7l v12. launched at the moscow motorshow, these rich russians must be loaded, whilst the rest of the country lives in rural poverty scrapping a living with russian agricultural machinery and dilapitaded infrastructure.
