Wimmer Tunes Porsche 911 GT RS

In May of this year, Porsche introduced what is known as the fastest Porsche production road car ever - the 911 GT2 RS. Yes, even faster than dedicated supercars like mid-engined Carrera GT.

In what has become an ongoing battle between the two, the car also beats the Nissan GT-R's fastest claim around the Nurburgring by 8 seconds. We'll have to see how the new Nissan GT-R fares - this battle is far from over.

The limited run of 500 copies of the 911 GT2 RS sold out quickly after order availability opened up in October. All 500 cars being spoken for isn't stopping the aftermarket from trying to woo the car's buyers to up the performance ante even further though. For those out there looking for something extra - yes even in a GT2 RS - Porsche tuner Wimmer is happy to oblige.

The GT2's stock figures stand at 620 horsepower and 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds on the way to a top speed of 205 mph. Wimmer's tweaks take the car from 620 to 703 horsepower, with torque up to 597.5 pound feet.

Top speed now stands at 221.2 mph and the all-important 0- 62 mph figure arrives in just 3.3 seconds. The bump in power comes from a new air intake, recalibrated engine control software, optimized turbochargers and redesigned exhaust system. Other than details are few and there isn't any word on price. We doubt that will be too much of a concern to Wimmer's clients.
