Dammit, Porsche. On the same day you reveal the new Porsche 911 in simple Carrera S and Carrera 4S flavour, meaning the 911 range actually makes sense you go and release another new 911. That"s actually the old 991-gen 911. And it"s not road legal. Porsche, what are you up to? Basically, Porsche is (official industry term here) doing a Zonda". In the Oxford English Dictionary, that"s defined as building ever more extreme versions of your old sports car while forging ahead with a new one". So, while ramping up production of the new 992-gen 911, and making sure collectors get their hands on the 935 flatnose" special and 991 Speedster, Porsche"s also found time to turn the N rburgring-conquering 911 GT2 RS into a track only, race-ready monster. Meet the Clubsport. Only 200 will be made. The single-seater retains the road car"s 691bhp, 3.8-litre bi-turbo flat-six and seven-speed PDK gearbox. It"s also rear-wheel drive, but those rear wheels are now shod in 310mm-wide slicks. And they in turn are pushed into the road by one of Porsche"s most gargantuan wings to date.
