On 4 May 2010, the GT2 RS was publicly unveiled to the German Porsche dealers in Leipzig.
The 3.6 litre twin-turbocharged Flat-6 engine in the GT2 RS develops 620 PS (612 bhp; 456 kW) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque and weighs 70 kg (154 lb) less than the outgoing GT2.
This allows it to be able to reach a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph) and accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.
It was the fastest and the most powerful 911 built of its generation.

According to Porsche Motorsports manager Andreas Preuninger, the RS was conceived around 2007 as a skunk-works effort.
The 727 code number selected for the project corresponds to one of the Nissan GT-R's lap times around the Nürburgring's Nordschleife.
When the dust settled, Porsche claimed that test driver Timo Kluck had supposedly eclipsed that target by an impressive nine seconds.

The GT2 has since then been an RS model only with no standard (non-RS) variant available.
