New Porsche 911 GT3 RS Beats Old GT2 RS To Set Road America Production Car Record

The previous-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS’s record has been surpassed by the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Road America. The GT3 RS completed the four-mile, 14-turn track in Wisconsin nearly two seconds faster. Professional race car driver Dimitri Dimakos drove the track-focused machine from Zuffenhausen, achieving an impressive time of two minutes and 13.8 seconds.

In April 2019, David Donohue set the now-obsolete record with a time of 2 minutes and 15.1 seconds. Despite the 991-generation GT2 RS having 700 horsepower and the new GT3 RS “only” having 518 hp, the 992-generation GT3 RS proved to be substantially faster. This can be attributed to its comprehensive aero package.
