Porsche Sets New Lap Record at Road Atlanta

Porsche has set another lap record at Road Atlanta, this time with its 911 GT2 RS model.

The new record, a 1:22.649, is just two-tenths of a second faster than the previous production car lap record held by the Corvette ZR1.

This achievement comes as no surprise, given that Porsche has been actively promoting and supporting its high-performance models at various racing events around the world.

The MSRP for the 911 GT3 RS Manthey Kit is $116,160, while the 911 GT2 RS Manthey Kit costs $113,140.
