Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR (GT2 / Track-focused road car)

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR is a razor-edged, Manthey-Racing-enhanced evolution of the 991.2 GT2 RS — one of the most extreme rear-engine Porsches ever built for the road. With the Manthey package adding aero, chassis, and braking upgrades, it becomes an even more focused Nürburgring weapon with real-world supercar-killer pace.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-6 (rear-mounted, longitudinal)

  • Total Output: ~700 hp (515 kW)

  • Redline: ~7,000 rpm

  • Transmission: 7-speed PDK dual-clutch

  • Weight: ~1,440 kg (road car with MR upgrades, driver/fuel dependent)

  • Dimensions: ~4,557 mm long × 1,852 mm wide × 1,296 mm tall | Wheelbase 2,457 mm

  • Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 / Cup 2 R performance tires on lightweight forged wheels

  • Brakes: Carbon-ceramic brakes with high-performance track pads

  • Layout: Rear-engine, rear-wheel drive

In the Simulator Feel

The 911 GT2 RS MR is an intimidating but incredibly rewarding rear-engine monster that combines massive turbocharged power with serious downforce and track-ready grip. Compared with the standard GT2 RS, the Manthey package sharpens the car’s response, adds stability at speed, and makes it more confidence-inspiring through fast corners — while still preserving that classic 911 attitude where the rear of the car is always a major part of the conversation.

Engine & Sound: The twin-turbo flat-6 has a deep, mechanical howl underneath the turbochargers, with a violent surge of boost in the mid-range and a hard-edged, urgent top-end. It’s not the most exotic-sounding car in the world, but it has an unmistakably Porsche character: turbine whistle, wastegate chatter, and a dense, motorsport-style snarl on full throttle.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Exceptional front bite for a rear-engine car, but the rear remains eager to rotate if you lift or brake too aggressively.

  • Traction: Strong off-corner traction thanks to wide rear rubber, though too much throttle too early can still overwhelm the chassis.

  • Braking: Huge stopping power from the carbon-ceramic package, with excellent repeatability under hard use.

  • Top Speed: Brutal straight-line pace, especially when the turbochargers are fully in their element.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it with discipline and patience. Use smooth inputs, trail-brake gently, and let the rear axle help rotate the car without asking too much of it. The Manthey setup rewards committed drivers on fast, flowing tracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Spa, and Silverstone.

Livery & Aesthetics: The GT2 RS MR looks every bit the factory-backed track special, with aggressive aero additions, a massive rear wing, vented bodywork, and subtle Manthey-Racing branding. It’s unmistakably Porsche: purposeful, muscular, and engineered rather than styled.

Whether you're chasing lap records or just trying to tame one of the most ferocious rear-engine Porsches ever made, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR delivers an unforgettable blend of precision, power, and old-school 911 drama.
