    Despite Porsche’s best attempt at keeping a tight lid on the upcoming track-minded GT2 RS, a previously trusted VIP guest at an invite only event decided to share a photo and details – ahead of the scheduled May 14th release. The same guest suggested that the GT2 RS will be limited to a 300 unit run, while boasting 620 horsepower.

     

    First posted on TeamSpeed’s forums, and later picked up by The German Car Blog and Autoblog, the GT2 RS has been unofficially revealed for the first time, including some speculative numbers that will even best the Porsche Carerra GT.

     

    According to a TeamSpeed forum member that was invited to a VIP-only reveal over the weekend, Porsche’s next car in the GT2 family will be a 620 horsepower track monster, capable of accelerating from zero-to-60 in just 3.2 seconds.

     

    The GT2 RS is also reportedly capable of reaching 200 km/h (124 mph) “well below 10 seconds,” and from zero-to-300 km/h (186 mph) “well below 25 seconds.” The GT2 RS has also been spied testing on the Nurburing, setting a reported best lap time of 7:22.

     

    Although the camera phone picture is lacking in quality, the person who took it claims to also have confirmation that the side intakes and vents around the exhaust will be constructed of carbon fiber. The wheels will feature centrelocks, the front will have a wider track thanks to extensions and the interior will utilize fabric door pulls.

     

    The GT2 RS will also weigh in at about 200 lbs less than the 997.1 GT2, which when coupled with the increased power, should provide for substantially upgraded performance in all regards.

     

    The German Car Blog suggests that the 997 GT2 RS will be priced at 240,000 euros, no word on U.S. availability or pricing.

     

    Porsche is scheduled to release the full details on May 14, 2010, with the car set to go on sale in Europe in September 2010.

    I think that the car would be just mad, the standard GT2 is already a scary car.....

      Another 911? Great, just to add to the confusion. Sorry, but I don't like it. The pre-facelift GT3 RS and the Turbo are the only ones I like. But anyway, i'm sure it'll be terrifying enough. :p
