We've been waiting for this one for quite some time and just about more than a year from its global debut at Goodwood last year, Porsche has brought the 911 GT2 RS to India.

The 911 GT2 RS follows in a long line of high-performance 911s, but it was the 993 in 1993 that first got a GT2 variant. But it was the 997-generation of the 911 that got the GT2 RS for the first time in 2010. The new car takes that story much further though with very impressive performance credentials.
