❗️Porsche just turned a 700-hp 991.2 GT2 RS into a one-off, road-legal Flachbau RS capable of producing roughly 1,221 pounds of rear-axle downforce at 211 mph.

This isn’t a new production GT2 RS, but a factory Sonderwunsch commission built from a like-new 2018 GT2 RS Weissach Package with help from Porsche Motorsport, Weissach engineers and Manthey.

Its radically flattened front fenders, ultra-thin stacked LED headlights and Grand Prix White bodywork reinterpret the legendary Porsche 935/78 “Moby Dick” for the street.

The enormous GT3 R rennsport-inspired rear wing sits nearly two inches higher, has three manually adjustable positions and works with Manthey aero underneath the car.

Porsche left the drivetrain untouched, meaning the Flachbau RS keeps the GT2 RS’s 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six producing 700 hp and sending power through its seven-speed PDK.

Engineers still managed to remove almost 70 pounds by deleting the PCM system, audio equipment, sound insulation, carpeting and even unnecessary sections of the wiring harness.

This wasn’t just a cosmetic build either, as Porsche spent almost three years developing it, constructed three test vehicles and carried out wind-tunnel, structural, lighting and real-world validation.

Testing included 50 laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, with Porsche test driver Lars Kern helping validate the radically revised aero package at speed.

The Flachbau name itself goes back to Porsche’s slant-nose 911 Turbos of the 1980s, with only 948 factory examples produced between 1982 and 1989.

If Porsche offered a modern Flachbau as an actual production 911, would you take it over a conventional GT2 RS?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
