The Next 911 GT2 RS Is Rumored to Be a 700-Plus-Horsepower Hybrid

Every time there's a new 911, the next few years are full of an onslaught of new variants and versions. The 992-generation car was released in 2019, and with the release of the GT3 RS and the off-road capable Dakar, we're coming to the point where we'll see a facelift for 2024. That gives Porsche a chance to release every variant, again, but also add a few more variants to the mix, like a new GT2 RS.

According to Autocar, a legendary British magazine that thrives on publishing rumors that may or may not be true, a new GT2 RS is on the way for 2026. Typically the final variant before an entirely new generation of 911 is released, the timing makes sense. The big rumor is that this will be a mild hybrid, with batteries behind the seats that will push the 3.8-liter turbocharged flat-six well past 700 hp. Since the last GT2 RS made 690 hp, expect the bump to be substantial.
