Return of the Widowmaker?

The blokes at Pistonheads supposedly got word from an inside source at Porsche that the automaker is considering a track-day version of the GT2. The hypothetical Porsche 911 GT2 RS would improve on every aspect of the standard turbocharged rear-wheel-drive coupe, beginning with an additional 50 ponies, bringing output up to 580 hp. Center-locking wheels are rumored to be part of the package, along with Plexiglas rear windows and a range of body modifications that could drop some 440 pounds from the standard GT2's curb weight. The UK-centric site reports that ten right-hand-drive examples will be produced, although it doesn't say what total global output would be. If the GT2 RS does come to fruition, expect it to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show later this year, with sales beginning the following spring.

Still, it's not a GT2 RSR. It'd be nice to see Porsche back in the top GT class again.
 
I think that will be the true GT2 in my eyes. much cooler than the current one. I am looking forward to seeing it. Oh and not looking forward to the new ring arguments.
 
I think Porsche is trying to catch up with Mercedes in how "deadly" their Black-Series models are...

Still, me wants. Me wants bad.
 
Finally they've got the clue about how to bring the 911 back to the level it belongs to! 👍

Or to actually be back above Ferrari, Lamborghini, & even Dodge....
 
For the price, it won't... But as I recall, is the GT2 not already faster than the ZR1?
 
Me want widowmaker! The only thing more senseless than a GT2 is a GT2 on 'roids. Delicious excess :drool:.
 
Good news... if it's true.

I expect, with the very limited numbers, these will all end up in private collections though.
