Porsche has confirmed that the upcoming 911 GT2 RS
won’t get a manual transmission despite a stick shift recently being introduced
for the facelifted GT3.
Porsche may not be referring to the model as the GT2
RS but sources indicate that it will be so ballistic that the ‘regular’ GT2
model will be skipped entirely. With power coming from a twin-turbocharged
flat-six delivering up to 650 hp, it’s easy to understand why.
Given that the GT2 RS will be focused solely on
performance, Blume said that it will only be offered with the company’s
dual-clutch PDK transmission.
Current word suggests that the model will launch for
the 2018 model year meaning a debut in the latter half of 2017 is possible.
