The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the most powerful road car the team from Stuttgart has ever made. Its 620bhp sent Chris Harris into overdrive and all 500 examples have already been sold. With all the hype Fifth Gear’s Jason Plato thought it would be nice to celebrate his BTCC success by thrashing the newest “widow maker” around Silverstone.
Plato currently rates the Ferrari 458 Italia as the best new supercar money can buy. Is the GT2 RS about to knock the Fezza off its perch?

The Porsche 911 is imo becoming stale. No because its not a good car, but because they improve on the previous car so minutely that there is no real desire to upgrade… If you buy a 911, chances are that it isn’t too far away from the latest and greatest… I get more performance differentiation from my PC upgrades 😉
BavarianMaleWorker: And that’s why resale on 911s is so good, and there’s such brand loyalty amongst Porsche owners – the owner of a “current minus one” generation of the car didn’t lose 50% of the value when the current generation was released.
The upgrade from 996 to 997 was more substantial of course – but that was to be expected.
