Switzer Performance has released a new upgrade program for the Porsche 911 GT2 called the R911S. The tuner says the new Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 develops 900 hp which is 280 hp more than the newly unveiled GT2 RS. This is also just 100 hp less than a Veyron! The Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 packag is based on the tuners P800 program that has been modified to deliver just under 50% more power than the new RS.
The Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 was not developed for straight line speed only. The program includes various custom parts aimed at better handling in the corners. The Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 comes equipped with a JRZ titanium inverted-front-strut, remote-reservoir suspension which was developed in the Patron GT3 Cup and Grand-Am Rolex GT series.
The manufacturer will setup the suspension of each Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 according to the owners driving style.
The Switzer R911S Porsche 911 GT2 price starts at $199,900 and the R911S Carbon is priced at $239,900.
Switzer Press Release:
Porsche's 2011 GT2 RS is the fastest road going car in the company's history, but it's not quite
fast enough to suit Tym Switzer's demanding clients. Tym's company, Ohio-based tuning firm Switzer Performance, announced their new Switzer GT2 R911S this morning - a super-997 GT2 with over nine hundred horsepower and racetrack-oriented revisions to ensure that even the mighty GT2 RS will disappear in its rearview mirrors.
The Switzer GT2 R911S takes the firm's well-proven P800 GT2 package and pushes it further. Using race fuel, the R911 delivers well over eight hundred horsepower at the rear wheels, equating to roughly 50% more power than Porsche's GT2 RS, with Switzer's MONSTER intercoolers
ensuring consistent engine performance lap after lap.
With a (conservative) 911 hp on tap, virtually nothing in the world can pass Switzer's R911S GT2 in a straight line. To maintain that advantage in the corners, Switzer's R911S features a Switzer-specific titanium inverted-front-strut, remote-reservoir suspension engineered by the track experts at JRZ. This isn't "racing-style" suspension; the hardware is a true JRZ racing setup that has been torture-tested in the Patron GT3 Cup and Grand-Am Rolex GT series – barely tamed for the street
with a few easy knob-twists. Each one of Switzer's R911S cars will be feature hand-selected spring and damping rates, specifically catering to each client's track experience and level of aggression.
Switzer's R911S already offers a power-to-weight ratio which simply eviscerates Porsche's newest factory flagship - but for the customer who has to cut every last ounce of extra mass from the car, Switzer offers the R911S Carbon - an exclusive suite of lightweight carbon-fiber body panels that sheds weight from the R911S and lowers the car's center of gravity for maximum performance in advanced-level trackday and time-attack sessions.
While Porsche GT2 RS customers are lining up to beg their local dealer for a spot in line, Switzer Performance can offer the silver GT2 R911S pictured here for immediate delivery. Pricing for the standard vehicle starts at $199,900, while the R911S Carbon is priced at $239,900, contact Switzer Performance for more.
