Sure, plenty of supercars make more horsepower, but that\u2019s almost 200 hp (203 hp) more than the GT3 RS generates, and the latter is the fourth-fastest car around the N\u00fcrburgring with a time of 6:49.33.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<p>The second-fastest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2018\/11\/porsche-911-gt2-rs-mr-claims-throne-ring-640-3\/\">remains the old GT2 RS<\/a> with the optional Manthey performance kit, which did the job in 6:43.30, and even five years later is still only kept off the top spot by the much more powerful and more expensive AMG One\u2019s 6:35.18 time.<\/p>\n<p>But while the new GT2 RS will still look inexpensive next to multi-million dollar hypercars like the AMG One, it sounds like it\u2019ll be significantly more expensive than the old car, which had an MSRP of $294,450 in 2019.
