No Surprise Here: The 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is Already Sold Out
Porsche has yet to announce specifications or pricing for the 2018 911 GT2 RS, but the limited-run supercar has already sold out.
The new GT2 RS made a surprising debut at E3 2017 during the Microsoft Xbox press conference, and it will also serve as the cover car for the upcoming Forza Motorsport 7. Expected to pack 700 horsepower, the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS will be limited to just 1,000 units worldwide, according to a report from Germany’s AutoBild. Unsurprisingly, all examples have already been accounted for, which seems to be the case for more and more limited edition supercars these days.

According to AutoBild, European pricing for the GT2 RS starts at around €260,000 ($289,000) and the initial units were reserved for current Porsche 918 Spyder owners. Deliveries are expected to begin this fall.
Powering the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine taken from the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The Zero-to-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time is reportedly as low as 2.9 seconds, while the top speed is 212 mph (341 km/h).
