# Hypersonic Supercars The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is Faster and Deadlier than Ever By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-05-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-911-gt2-rs References: [topgear](http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/porsche-911-gt2-rs-2010-05-12) & [porsche](http://www.porsche.com) The [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-911-gt3-rs) 911 GT2 RS makes its predecessor, the 911 GT2, look like a kids toy. This beast of a machine has the specs of a [full-blown race car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-99x), but this bad boy is made for the road, the same one that you and I drive on. The Porsch 911 GT2 RS gets going with 611bhp from the rear wheels, weighs 1,370kg and--get ready for this--will go from nothing to 124 mph in only ten seconds. With a top speed of 205 mph, it is no wonder this baby is bloody expensive--to keep it out of the hands of people like me. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hypersonic Supercars:** The Porsche 911 GT2 RS showcases the trend of supercars becoming faster and more powerful than ever before. - **Race-inspired Road Cars:** The Porsche 911 GT2 RS exemplifies the trend of manufacturers creating road-legal vehicles with specs and performance capabilities inspired by full-blown race cars. - **Exclusivity and Luxury:** The high price tag of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS points to the trend of luxury and exclusive supercars that cater to a wealthy and discerning clientele. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to push the boundaries of performance and speed with the development of hypersonic supercars like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. - **Car Manufacturing:** Car manufacturers can leverage the trend of race-inspired road cars to appeal to performance enthusiasts who desire the experience of driving a race car on public roads. - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on the trend of exclusivity and luxury by producing high-end and limited edition supercars like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aerodynamic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-911-gt3-rs.md) - [Lightweight High-Performance Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-highperformance-supercar.md) - [Luxury Game-Inspired Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solus-gt.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-australia.md) - [All-Electric Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-sports-car.md) - [Designer-Honoring Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/911-gt3-90-f-a-porsche.md) - [Carbon-Loaded Luxury Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Megacars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar.md)
