Porsche’s 2011 GT2 RS is the fastest roadgoing 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.
