Porsche Unveils the Flachbau RS: A Modern Slantnose Built on a GT2 RS
Porsche’s Sonderwunsch division reveals the Flachbau RS, a street-legal modern 911 slantnose built from a 2018 GT2 RS for a European client at several million dollars. The car dons new front-end aero, a lighter interior with no infotainment, and a rear wing adjustable to 1,221 pounds of downforce, while retaining the 3.8L twin-turbo flat-six for 700 hp. It weighs about 70 pounds less than a stock GT2 RS and has undergone extensive validation—wind tunnels, virtual crash tests, endurance runs, and 50 Nürburgring laps—to meet road-legal standards. A bold factory-backed one-off that nods to the classic Flachbau lineage rather than a production model.
