Can the Porsche 911 GT2 RS beat the 911 Turbo S & GT3 in drag race?

Once again, the guys from Carwow opposed three super powerful and fast cars. This time it is Porsche models 911 (992) Turbo S, GT2 RS and the new 911 GT3.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

The Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with an impressive 510 hp (375 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 197 mph (318 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via manual or automatic seven-speed transmission (PDK). It is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes, and 20-inch wheels on the front and 21-inch wheels on the rear with Michelin PS Cup 2 tires.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in an impressive 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 kph).

All three models are super fast but also super expensive. The price of the 911 Turbo S is around $ 218,000 (£ 164,650), the 911 GT2 RS is around $ 397,000 (£ 300,000) and the 911 GT3 is around $ 169,000 (£ 128,000).

The Porsche 911 Turbo S showed its superiority at 1/4 mile with a time of 10.2 seconds, slightly slower was the GT2 RS with 10.4 seconds, while the GT3 was last with 11 seconds.

Manhart RQ 800

A few months ago, Manhart introduced the Manhart RQ 900 based on the Audi RS Q8. Now, Manhart engineers have gone further, as they have created the Manhart RQ 800 for a growing audience that prefers “super sports cars in the body of an SUV”.

Manhart has equipped the RQ 800 with a new intercooler, carbon intake, stainless steel exhaust system, four 100 mm ceramic-coated or carbon fiber exhaust pipes. There are also sports downpipes with 200-cell catalytic converters, as well as a remapped ECU.

The car is mounted on 24-inch gold-decorated rims wrapped in 295/30 ZR24 (front) and 355/25 ZR24 (rear) tires. Manhart air suspension allows the vehicle to lower by 30-40 mm.

The RQ 800 is powered by a standard 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 818 hp (602 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a recalibrated eight-speed automatic transmission. As a reminder, the Audi RS Q8 has 600 hp (441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm). Reaches 62 mph in less than four seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 kph).

Lancia Delta Safarista

Three years ago, Manifattura Automobili Torino introduced a modern version of the 1989 Delta Integrale, the Lancia Delta Futurista. The car was produced in only 20 units. Those who missed the chance now have the opportunity to buy a Lancia Delta Safarista.

The car is based on the Lancia Delta Integrale, with a slightly different approach. The two-tone bodywork was inspired by the Lancia Delta, which won the 1988 Safari Rally. The hatchback is equipped with new lightweight rims with carbon covers on the front wheels, red fenders at all four corners, modified bumpers and special side mirrors reminiscent of the original, and the rear doors have been removed.

The interior is bare. The driver is placed in deep seats surrounded by a protective cage with red belts at four points. In front of the driver, there is a small monitor on the dashboard. The driver has a hydraulic parking brake at his disposal.

Although not confirmed, under the hood will be an upgraded 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine with 330 hp (243 kW), probably paired with a reinforced sequential gearbox, a new differential and a main axle.

The car will cost around $ 644,000 and only 10 units will be produced.
