911 Sport Auto Supertest - Porsche 911 GT2 RS

[DeDe]

Did they mention why this time is 9.0 seconds slower than the 997 GT2's time? Sport Auto seem to have been having wacky wet handling times. 997.2 GT3 RS was 9.2 seconds slower than 997.1 GT3 RS, 458 Italia 3.5s slower than Scuderia on Corsas...

One word: tyres.

One word: tyres.

Are the Cup tires on the Porsches that different from each other? The GT2 RS is supposed to be running Cup+ tires, isn't it? That's what the press cars and auto show cars have been running.

"Michelin Pilot Sport Cup" this is in the article. I don't know if it's "N0" or "+"...

If this is the test car in this pic, then I'm pretty sure it's Cup+. You can tell by the thin outer circumferential groove:

Here's a clearer pic of that car with that plate in Car and Driver's gallery:

Flickr member Black Bunny's photo set shows that it is a Cup+ with N1 spec.

RS uses N+ and here's a pic of my GT2 wearing N0

Nordschleife-comparison: 911 GT3 vs. 911 GT3 RS & 911 GT2 RS



As you can see the GT3 RS is the fastest in most of the corners and the GT2 RS dominates at high speed sections.

Dede, is that your own table of stats that you've drawn up? If it is... well, I'll wait to hear first.

In any event, it's a fascinating read. GT3 RS is a cornering monster! I'm suprised (and then not) to see it carry higher cornerning speeds than the GT2 RS. This is a really cool piece of info...

Thank you.
Yes, that's my work.

Great job, really. That's the kind of contribution that sets a true enthusiast apart!

 

[DeDe]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
