New Porsche 911 GT2 RS coming soon

Every now and then, Porsche gives us new information about the cars that we can expect in the near future. Celebrating its 75th anniversary, Porsche announces the arrival of the powerful 911 (992) GT2 RS in 2026. It has become a tradition that Porsche always offers the most powerful and fastest version of the current generation of its most popular car at the end of the story.

Although there is not much information, it is known that the new Porsche 911 (992) GT2 RS will be powered by a 3.8-liter 6-cylinder biturbo engine, from the current generation 911 Turbo, in combination with an electric motor. This means that the total power will be more than 700 hp, and more power means more torque compared to its predecessor (991 Series).

The company says the 400-volt hybrid system will be even more advanced than the one that powers the racing 963 LMDh. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch (PDK) transmission.

It is quite certain that Porsche will soon offer a hybrid system in combination with the base versions of this model, which confirms the electrification of super sports cars before completely abandoning the internal combustion engine.

Manhart TR 900 based on the Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS

After the Manhart TR 800, based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S, from the Wuppertal-based tuner workshop comes the TR 900. It is based on Porsche’s most powerful production car, the Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS.

TR 900 is powered by a 3.8 L twin-turbo flat-six engine with 945 hp (695 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power, compared to the base Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which has 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque, was achieved by combining an ECU remapping by Mapswitch with a turbo performance kit. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via an upgraded 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Performance data has not been revealed, but we expect nothing less than what the 911 (991) GT2 RS can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

The car is painted in Midnight Dark Green with decorative stripes and lettering. It is equipped with carbon fiber add-on parts such as a front spoiler, side extensions, front frames for air intakes, side skirts and a diffuser with side extension plates. There are also TTH 1000 turbochargers, an intercooler kit from CSF, a larger front-mounted fan, a MANHART IPD aluminum manifold, and MANHART Downpipes Sport from Kline Innovation with 200-cell HJS catalysts.

Inside, the sports seats are upholstered in a combination of black leather and orange Alcantara with orange stitching, and the lower part of the dashboard is covered in black Alcantara. The door panels and steering wheel are covered in a combination of orange and black Alcantara, while the ceiling is covered in orange Alcantara. A safety roll cage is placed behind the seat.

When it comes to price, the Manhart TR 900 costs 550,000 EUR.
