So, Porsche has decided to make another GT2 RS. This is big news for the same reason that a nuclear power station announcing they're removing all the safety protocols is big news. The GT2 RS isn't just another 911 - it's what happens when Porsche's engineers are allowed to build a car without the usual restraints of sanity and self-preservation. For those who don't know, the GT2 RS is essentially a GT3 RS that's been force-fed turbochargers and sent to military boot camp. It's the most extreme, most powerful, most terrifying version of the 911 you can buy. And now, according to leaked information, Porsche has opened the order books for the new 992-generation version. The price is reported to be €450,000, which is approximately £380,000 or roughly the same as a modest detached house in most parts of the country. But unlike your house, the GT2 RS can hit 60 mph in under three seconds and will likely try to kill you if you're not paying full attention. So there's that. Production will supposedly be limited, just like the previous 991-generation GT2 RS, which was capped at 1,000 units. That might sound like quite a lot until you consider how many dentists, hedge fund managers, and YouTube influencers are desperate to own the ultimate Porsche. Then it starts to seem rather scarce indeed. What's particularly interesting are the rumors about the power output. The previous GT2 RS produced 691 horsepower from its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, which was already enough to make your eyeballs flatten against the back of your skull under full acceleration. The new one is rumored to pack around 850 horsepower. That's not a car; that's a cruise missile with a steering wheel. To put that in perspective, 850 horsepower is more than most supercars from just a few years ago. It's more than a Ferrari 812 Superfast. It's more than a McLaren 720S. It's the kind of power figure that would have been considered absurd for a road car not too long ago. And Porsche is putting it in a rear-engined car with rear-wheel drive. Because of course they are. The previous GT2 RS could hit 211 mph and get from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds. With an additional 159 horsepower, the new one will presumably be even faster, possibly challenging the laws of physics and definitely challenging your courage. The 0-60 time could dip below 2.5 seconds, which is the kind of acceleration that causes involuntary noises to come out of your mouth. What makes a GT2 RS different from other ultra-powerful cars is that it's not just about straight-line speed. It's a proper track weapon, designed to demolish lap records while still being (technically) road legal. The previous generation held the Nürburgring lap record for production cars for a while, and you can bet Porsche will be gunning for that title again. Of course, actually getting your hands on one will be about as easy as getting an audience with the Pope. Even if you have the €450,000 required, you'll still need to be on Porsche's nice list - which means either already owning several Porsches or being famous enough that the company wants you as a brand ambassador. Deliveries are expected to begin in June 2026, which gives prospective owners plenty of time to get their affairs in order and write their wills. Because let's be honest - a rear-wheel-drive Porsche with 850 horsepower is going to require absolute respect and concentration. Get it wrong, and the GT2 RS won't just spin; it'll attempt to break the land speed record... backwards. What's fascinating about the GT2 RS is that it exists at all. In an era where cars are increasingly homogenized, electrified, and designed to keep you from having too much fun, Porsche continues to build this kind of automotive lunacy. It's like releasing a tiger into a petting zoo - exciting, terrifying, and probably not entirely sensible. But that's exactly why we should celebrate its existence. The GT2 RS isn't just a fast car - it's a statement that driving can still be challenging, visceral, and occasionally a bit frightening. t's a car that demands respect and rewards skill, not just a point-and-squirt appliance that does everything for you. So, whether you're one of the lucky few who can actually afford one, or just an enthusiast who appreciates automotive extremes, the news that another GT2 RS is coming should put a smile on your face. Because as long as cars like this exist, driving will continue to be an art form rather than just a method of getting from A to B. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to check if selling all my organs would get me anywhere close to that €450,000 asking price.
