The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.8-litre, flat-six-cylinder, twin-turbocharged engine. It produces a massive 700bhp and 750Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, popularly known as PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung), sending power to the rear wheels.

The car can sprint from 0 - 100km/h in just 2.8 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 340km/h.
