The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a fascinating car, one that’s clearly related to lesser 911s yet costs three times as much as a base Carrera and set a Nürburgring production car lap record. Porsche is no stranger to ultra-high-performance track machines, but as you’ll see in this video, TPC Racing Owner Mike Levitas shows us how the GT2 RS is special.

This video was shot a few weeks ago, so with the introduction of the GT2 RS Clubsport last week at the Los Angeles Auto Show now behind us, some of the special motorsport parts used in the road car make more sense — especially if it was envisioned as a homologation special of sorts.

Watch the video above for a brief technical analysis of the GT2 RS.
