Porsche 911 GT2 RS review: will the most powerful 911 ever try to kill me?

Follow Mat on Instagram - / matwatsoncars
Introducing the ULTIMATE 911 - the Porsche 911 GT2 RS! When it comes to road-going sports cars, it doesn’t get much better than this! It’s worth a whopping £236,000, but for that, you’ll be able to hit 0-60mph in under 3 seconds thanks to its 3.8-litre flat 6 twin-turbo, which can hit 700hp & 750Nm! But is it worth that enormous price tag?! Join Mat for his latest review to find out!

@Mr. Mosby bro in winter the weather is cold whick means the air molecules are not in a higher spot of atmosphere butin a lower spot. So the turbos or atmospheric car engine will get a lot of air and it will explode better. There is one disadventage . The grip is worse than the hot weather. But i dont think Porshe doesnt have a problem on the grip side especially if its a middle engined car.

You know what's amazing. Many car nuts might know but, Porsche 911s use of the engine right at the back means, there's more weight on the wheels. Therefore, more traction. So it doesn't even need to have AWD to have a great launch from standstill like most RWD cars (mostly frond engined).
