Can you afford a 2010-2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe?

The 2010-2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (997.2) was an extreme, track-focused supercar. Journalists praised its raw power (620 hp), blistering performance, and precise handling, often calling it a widowmaker due to its challenging rear-wheel-drive nature without stability control. It's famous for its aggressive styling and being the fastest, most powerful 911 of its era. Today, it's a highly coveted collector's item and a thrilling, albeit demanding, machine best suited for experienced drivers seeking ultimate track performance or a significant addition to a high-performance collection.

Owning a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe 997.2 entails high operating expenses. Fuel consumption is significant due to its powerful engine. Maintenance costs are substantial, especially for specialized parts and labor, as the vehicle uses high-performance components. Tires, brakes, and fluids are more expensive than for standard cars and require frequent replacement under spirited driving. Reliability is generally good for Porsche, but any repairs can be costly. Insurance premiums are unusually high due to the car's high value, performance capabilities, and limited production, reflecting its high risk and repair costs.
