Porsche has produced the company’s first production-ready 997.2 GT2 RS and revealed a new gallery of official press pictures.

The fastest production Porsche will hit the streets at the end of 2010, or early 2011, with its public debut set for the Moscow Auto Show on August 25th.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the most powerful street legal Porsche ever. It set a Nurburgring laptime of just 7m18s. Power output is 462 kW and it weighs just 1 370 kgs. The 0 – 100km/h sprint is over and done with in 3.4 seconds and top speed is well over 320 km/h (200 mph).

Following spy photos from its private unveiling in Germany earlier this month and hot on the heels of the images we brought you yesterday, Porsche has today issued the first details and photos of its upcoming 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

Powered by Porsche’s twin-turbo 3.6-litre flat-six and weighing in at 1 370 kg, the 911 GT RS delivers a mammoth 462 kW, resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 2.96 kg/kW. The 0 – 100km/h sprint is over and done with in 3.4 seconds.

By comparison, the current-generation GT2 offers an already substantial 390 kW, and the recently-released naturally-aspirated GT3 RS offers 335 kW. Even the 5.7 litre V10-powered Carrera GT is outgunned, with an output of 450kW. This makes it the most powerful road-going Porsche to-date.

According to Porsche, it will lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 18 seconds, putting it just inside the top six (or so) production vehicles to navigate the course in under 7m20s. In 2004, the Carrera GT covered the circuit in 7m28s, while the GT2 managed a time of 7m32s.

Some of the features unique to the GT2 RS include carbon-fibre-reinforced components with a matte black finish, wider wheels (with flared arches up front), new centre-locking light-alloy wheels and a 10 mm taller rear spoiler lip.

The GT2 RS is limited to 500 units, with its worldwide debut scheduled for the Moscow Auto Show in August.
