When it makes its world debut at the Moscow Auto Show this coming Aug, the new 911 GT RS will be the fastest and most powerful road-going sportscar Porsche has ever built. Production will be limited to just 500 units.

The 3.6l six-cylinder, twin-turbo boxer engine on this one has 620bhp, up 90bhp from the 911 GT2, and the car is also lighter than the latter by 70kg, at 1,370kg. The rear-wheel drive vehicle comes equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, and performance figures include a 0-100kmh time of 3.5secs and a 330kmh top speed.

The exterior features plenty of carbon-fibre-reinforced components in a matte-black surface finish, not just for lightness and cosmetics -for example, the upgraded front spoiler lip and the rear spoiler lip, both made of CFR, sits 10mm higher to provide the right aerodynamic precision as well as extra downforce.

Elsewehere, even wider wheels and flared wheel arches at the front, new 911 GT2 light-alloy wheels with central locking, as well as GT2 RS badging on the doors and rear lid make up the new items list.

As for the interior, the primary colour is black, with contrast provided by the centre section of the CFRP lightweight bucket seats and the roof lining as well as segments on the steering wheel rim, all finished in red. The gearshift and handbrake lever also get the red treatment.

Standard kit includes PCCB composite ceramic brakes and 19-inch wheels, wearing specially-developed 325/30 series tyres.
