Holy Human Cannonball - Porsche working on "hard-core" GT-2

According to the chatter on the interwebs, (and verified by reliable sources) it sounds as though Porsche is working on a "hard-core" version of their GT-2, possibly dubbed the GT-2 RS. While early reports state that the horsepower will remain the same at 530hp, the real news is that the car will be 200kg (440 pounds) lighter for a total weight of 2,735lbs. This would result in a very impressive 5.16lb/hp ratio (down from 6lb/hp) in the standard car.

I'll leave you with video of Walter Rohrl driving the current GT-2 as brief example of how fast the standard GT-2 is.

BTW, the clip is in German.
