2018 911 GT2 RS

I swear, I wasn’t planning on writing about another GT2, but we might as well end “GT2 Week” with the latest and greatest iteration to come out of the GT department, the 991 GT2 RS. Interestingly, the car was unveiled at the 2017 E3 Expo alongside the Forza Motorsport 7 video game as it was a playable vehicle and the cover car. Some called that a fitting launch as the new GT2 RS shed its manual transmission and was fitted with Porsche’s PDK unit.

Powering the GT2 RS is a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six with 691 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production 911 ever built. Porsche pegged the 0 to 60 mph time at 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph with the ever-so-important Nurburgring lap time of 6:47.3.

This 2018 911 GT2 RS is finished in Black over Red and Black leather and Alcantara interior with Satin Black magnesium wheels. It features the optional Weissach Package, extended range fuel tank, PDLS headlights, and front axle lift system and has just shy of 2,800 miles on the odometer. We don’t know much more about the car as the listing doesn’t provide much information as this was an in-person auction, and I, unfortunately, wasn’t in person for this one. But from the few photos on Mecum’s website, it sure does look sinister in all black.

The market for the 991 GT2 RS has been a roller-coaster as we saw initial signs of depreciation after the launch in 2018. After hitting bottom at the end of 2020, values shot up through 2021 and continued to rise well into this year, with several cars selling for over $550,000. Over the last six months, average prices have been in the $400k range, with most cars over being sub-1,500-mile examples.

Our Spotlight car, with 2,800 miles, sold for $365,000 at Mecum’s Dallas sale over the weekend. Comps put the car around $350-360k, but I wasn’t surprised that this one achieved a bit more as RS’ tend to do better at in-person sales than they do online. Add to the fact that buyer’s fees are more than your average online auction house, so this one was wall-sold indeed.
