Hot on the heels of the GTstreet Cabriolet, TechArt busts loose with yet another GTstreet offering, this time in the form of Porsche's venerable 530hp (390 kW) 911 GT2 aptly dubbed, GTstreet RS.
The GTstreet RS surpasses the 911 Turbo based GTstreet with 70 more hp for a total of 700hp (515 kW) and 860 Nm of torque. Power is achieved through the use of modified turbochargers, enlarged carbon inlet pipes, specially developed intercoolers, a sports flap exhaust combined with high-performance headers, modified pressure sensor and a sports air filter.
GTstreet RS front apron is fitted with a lower carbon splitter. Also from the top of the bumper fascia a special air duct has been constructed to enable air to pass directly behind the radiator and out through the newly created carbon outlet vents thereby reducing the buoyant force on the front axle considerably. Proving the aerodynamic kit is just as functional as visual, the GTstreet RS achieves in the wind tunnel 10 kilos of downforce on the front and rear axles at a speed of 140 km/h (87 mph).
Other GTstreet RS exterior trimmings include aero-bonnet, headlight shades, mirror shades, GTstreet sill panels and carbon roof spoiler. The GTstreet RS rear spoiler is particularly striking with its carbon winglets and gurney flaps. The GTstreet RS rear apron with carbon diffuser, air outlet and carbon air wings complete the programme for this club sports car.
Price for the 700hp GTstreet RS starts at €350,000 ($550,000 USD).

Yes i agree with you there , You would probably only get half or less what you paid for it if you tried selling it.

550k? You could buy a Carrera GT AND a 911. It's awesome, but not THAT awesome. LP640 please.

I don't get how a stock GT2 with an additional 70bhp equates to 700bhp...it has 530hp as standard from the factory.. so either someone's got their maths wrong or this car isn't as powerful as this article claims. The standard of journalism on wcf has decreased of late... stock car please with a scuderia for track days...

They were talking about 70bhp over the GTstreet that was based on the 911 Turbo, not the GT2. Read the article and get your facts right.

You buy what you get. $US550K, you get an Ultimate Super Car. That will kick Ferrari's ASS around Nürburgring Nordschlei track.

Answer: Yes.
I had a chance to drive a GT Street RS (after having already sampled a CGT, and the two most recent versions of the GT2 (996 & 997) and I would definitely own one. This car is the complete package; it is so tame when driven responsibly on the street but, when you have a opportunity to open the taps, it will scare the crap out of you. That's why this car is at the very top of my wish list.
