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.

Porsche Unveils One-Off 911 GT2 RS Flachbau RS Inspired by Moby Dick

Porsche's Sonderwunsch program has turned the 911 GT2 RS into a modern slantnose with the one-off Flachbau RS, inspired by the 935/78 Moby Dick, featuring redesigned front fenders, ultra-slim vertical headlights, a Manthey aero package, and a taller rear wing; the powertrain remains the same 700 hp/553 lb-ft 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six, while the car sheds about 70 pounds versus a GT2 RS Weissach through interior and equipment reductions, delivering up to 1,221 pounds of rear downforce at up to 211 mph; it debuted at The Quail and is not intended for mass production.

Porsche's Flachbau RS: a one-off GT2 RS inspired by the 935 Moby Dick

Porsche's Sonderwunsch division built a one-off 991.2 GT2 RS called Flachbau RS, a road-legal slant-nose homage to the 935 Moby Dick designed by Grant Larson. It adds new aero elements, revised front wings, louvres, and a three-position rear wing delivering up to 554 kg downforce, while shedding about 31.6 kg. The drivetrain remains near-stock (roughly 700 hp, 553 lb-ft, 0–62 mph in 2.8 s, 211 mph) with a stripped interior and lighter wiring. It completed 50 Nürburgring laps for validation with Manthey aero work, confirming stability at speed while keeping road legality.
