700 turbocharged horses, rear-wheel drive, and zero mercy — Porsche's own engineers call it the widowmaker
Reserve this car → View all Porsche models →The 911 Turbo S will beat it off the line. All-wheel drive, launch control, a computer smoothing every input — it hits 60 faster, every time. The GT2 RS doesn't care. Point them both at the Nürburgring and the Turbo S becomes a rearview mirror. 6:47.3. A production-car record that stood for years, set by a rear-wheel-drive coupe with 700 horsepower and no safety net.
That's the trade Porsche made, deliberately, with open eyes. Two massive turbos spool late and hit hard — boost arrives like a decision being reversed mid-corner. No all-wheel drive to catch the rear end. No four-wheel steering trickery to hide behind. Just a 3.8-liter flat-six, a stripped interior, and a chassis tuned by people who've watched this exact car try to kill test drivers on camera. The nickname isn't marketing. Porsche's own engineers use it.
Every panel is there for downforce or none at all — carbon fiber front fenders, a fixed rear wing doing real aerodynamic work at speed, not decoration.
This is a car that punishes hesitation and rewards precision, and it draws a hard line between the two. Reserve it if you're certain which side of that line you're on.
