Porsche is testing the latest-generation 911 GT2 RS, which might be their wildest road model yet, excluding hypercars like the 918 Spyder. A prototype was seen at the Nurburgring, resembling a 911 GT3 RS but with a roll cage and testing equipment. Its muted engine sound suggests a twin-turbocharged engine, likely a more powerful version of the Turbo S's engine, exclusively powering the rear wheels. The final GT2 RS bodywork will be revealed in 6-12 months, with the car expected to launch around 2026 for the 2027 model year.

Porsche’s tradition of nicknaming GT prototypes with "Top Gun" call signs continues, as this prototype has a "Wolfman" script. The last GT2 RS had 700 hp from a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six, while the new model could approach 1,000 hp, possibly with some electrification. The updated 2025 911 features a hybrid powertrain, and a similar setup might be used in the GT2 RS, enhancing the twin-turbo engine with an electric motor.

Aero elements for the GT2 RS are still unknown, but Porsche aims to challenge the Nurburgring record held by the Mercedes-AMG One. Additionally, a new 911 Turbo prototype suggests a potential Turbo S Touring grade, possibly rear-wheel drive with a hybrid powertrain, arriving for the 2026 model year. This new grade follows the pattern of the 911 Sport Classic, which had a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive but the upcoming model will likely use an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
