In its looks, the new 911 GT2 RS stands out clearly from the other 911 models through the lavish use of carbon-fibre-reinforced (CFR) components with a matt-black surface finish, even wider centre-locking wheels (including flared arches at the front) and "GT2 RS" model designations on the doors and rear lid. Matte-finish carbon also graces the redesigned front spoiler lip and the taller (by 10 mm) rear spoiler lip - which both enhance aerodynamic precision and provide extra downforce.

The interior of the 911 GT2 RS also exudes sporting performance in virtually every detail. Lightweight two-piece bucket seats made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic are standard, as are lightweight door panels with fabric straps instead of door handles. The basic interior colour is black, which contrasts with red elements, such as the seat centre sections, the roof lining and segments of the steering wheel rim. The gearshift and handbrake lever are also finished in red alcantara.

Limited to a maximum of just 500 units worldwide, at a price of $297,000, the 911 GT2 RS not just explosively fast; it will be extremely exclusive and expensive as well.
