Home/Buyer's Guides/991.2 GT2 RS
The record breaker · 2018-2019Beyond reason: prices, weak points, technical checks and checklist. So you can check history, turbochargers and track use reliably.
The Porsche 991 GT2 RS marks the absolute summit of the 991 series. With 700 PS, pure rear-wheel drive and a Nordschleife time of 6:47.3 minutes, it suspended the laws of physics on its debut.
Technically it is based on the Turbo S, but it was radically transformed: larger turbochargers, innovative water injection to cool the charge air and consistent lightweight construction (magnesium, carbon, titanium) make it the most powerful road-legal 911 of all time (as of its era). With a limited run of around 1,000 cars (plus the replacements for the four cars lost at sea), it is today a sought-after asset in the half-a-million-euro class.

The engine lasts, but the racetrack takes its toll.
The engine is based on the robust Turbo S unit, but is substantially reinforced (pistons, connecting rods, larger VTG turbochargers).
As on the GT3 RS, the Weissach package is both a blessing and a curse.
The suspension runs entirely on uniball (spherical) joints. That delivers precision, but also wear.

In price and in running costs, a GT2 RS plays in the hypercar league.
| Work / fault | Approx. cost | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium wheels (set) | more than €15,000 | Where damaged/cracked |
| Wheel bearings + centre-lock nuts | €4,000 - €5,000 | As a precaution (track use) |
| PCCB brake discs (per axle) | 5,000+ € | Parts only |

| Tyres (Cup 2 R set) | €2,000 - €3,000 | Extremely high wear |
| PDK gearbox replacement | 5,000 - 15,000+ € | If it fails |

The most powerful 911 is also one of the most expensive.
| Category | Price range |
|---|---|
| Market entry | from €400,000 (very rare) |
| Market standard (Weissach) | €450,000 - €550,000 |
| Collector's car (MR kit/low mileage) | €600,000+ |
Factor: an original Weissach package is essential for value development. Retrofitted MR kits (Manthey) also add value.
The 991.2 GT2 RS is a technical masterpiece and an extreme driving experience. It is the final-boss car of the 991 generation. Investment: Given the limited numbers and the brutal performance, it counts as a safe investment. Look for a clean accident record (carbon structure) and for the servicing of the centre locks.
