Engine start up: a healthy idle commences. You think, “How is something this docile, so savage?” Well, it is true, this car is the fastest production Porsche 911 ever. Yet it is something that gets 16 city/23 highway mpg, and is drivable on a daily basis, that is assuming anyone wants to take their $245,950 Porsche to work. Mashing the brake pedaling a turn is like a death-wish. Older 911s that are based on the same fundamentals are not hesitant in the least to throw a driver over a cliff if given the opportunity, but surprisingly, this car is not as hard to drive fast. Boasting a 620 horse power, 516 lb.-ft. of torque twin turbocharged intercooled 3.6 liter V6, this Porsche submits mind boggling figures of: 0-62mph: 3.4 seconds, 60-0: 98ft., a top speed of 205mph, and 1.2g. (rounded).
This car has many perks: substantial space in the trunk (technically it is the hood because the engine is in the back), 16 city/23 highway mpg as noted before, and a pretty comfortable ride. Since this 911 is on a weight saving diet, the back seats are missing versus a “normal” 911. On the Nurburgring, that Porsche beats pretty much any other production car with its 7:18 time. That is a strikingly fast time.
This car is obviously, with out a doubt, a very fast, exotic car; but it is very expensive, and only 500 were made in 2011, so getting your hand’s one is very tricky. So most of us can only dream of owning this incredible Porsche. This car more than earns the title “Supercar.”

Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Let it be said that all cars are not equal. Just look at the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. It is a mix of speed, lightness, some amenities, added carbon fiber looks, and Porsche every day performance. Fact is, you can’t kill yourself if you leave a Porsche running in a garage with the door shut, you will starve first. Now that says something about Porsche, world class luxury and performance, and it also is pretty fuel efficient for a sports car/supercar. Experience a certain Porsche blow away minds in more ways than one. Engine start up: a healthy idle commences.

Nice review. What do you mean that "mashing the breaks is a death wish"?
