GT2 RS Coupe (2018-2019)

Can you afford a 2018-2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe?

The 2018-2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991.2) is a track-focused, road-legal beast, often dubbed the Widowmaker for its immense power and challenging nature. Journalists praised its blistering performance, record-setting Nürburgring lap time, and phenomenal handling, while noting its unforgiving ride on public roads. Famous for being the most powerful and fastest road-going 911 of its generation, it's best suited for collectors, track enthusiasts, and those seeking an extreme driving experience rather than a daily commuter.

Owning a Porsche 911 GT2 RS involves significant operating expenses. Fuel consumption is high due to its powerful engine. Maintenance costs are elevated for performance parts, specialized fluids, and labor at Porsche-certified service centers. While generally reliable for a high-performance vehicle, track use can accelerate wear on tires and brakes, leading to frequent replacements. Insurance costs are substantially higher than average due to the car's high value, performance capabilities, and repair expenses. There are no widely noted unusual reliability concerns beyond typical performance car considerations.
