Why? The current 991.2S which at 100k is about as fast as the CGT was decade ago. Given the new tech and especially how much tires have changed I don't see it being a feat one should denounce.
Here is some more of my extended logic. Look at how fast the old GT2 RS was. 7:18 with a manual. Simply adding PDK and changing nothing else that car would likely run under ~7:06 given evidence seems to show PDK is worth 12 seconds over manual. On a car like the GT2 RS it might be worth even more given how much easier it is to drive. Now, let's add the much improved MPSC2 tires, rear wheel steering, the new 991 chassis, new PTV, more downforce, and I'm guessing some other tech may be from the 918 and I can easily see the car surpassing the 918.
Furthermore, with the current 991.1 GT3 RS running a 7:18 at less than 500 hp, a face lifted version on the way which should easily surpass that, a car with another 150 hp and 200 more torque, the GT2 RS should really be something.
You can see the Huracan they tested is not nearly close to a production car so the 7:52 is not a viable time in my mind compared to the 918. |
I believe the 991.1 GT3 RS runs 7:20 at the ring not 7:18 according to Porsche ?
