Porsche's evil monster

Going from 0-124 mph in under ten seconds, Porsche's 911 GT2 RS is 'legalised insanity' - but it's still a very usable road car.

Porsche's 911 GT2 RS is the "fastest, most powerful road car ever and we are frankly a little uneasy", says Sam Philip in Top Gear. The normal 911 GT2 was "already one of the most monstrous cars on the road", but this new model is "even more evil".

It produces 611bhp, still all through the rear wheels, weighs just 1,370kg and will go from standstill to 124mph in under ten seconds. "That's a power-to-weight ratio of 435bhp per tonne. Sheesh." The top speed is 205mph. Just 500 GT2 RSs will be built, with prices starting at "a whopping £164,000". Potential owners are unlikely to care.
