911 (997) gt2 rs . Is surely a super car . What sports cars could it be put in the same class as .

Thought id put a picture up of what i think is porsches first supercar

911 gt1



I think the carrera gt is also a supercar .and has super car looks



And the 918 is certainly a hyper car .
Did anyone see it on the grand tour



I think id class the lotus esprit turbo as a super car and the evora 400.

Perhaps i do need to set the bar a bit higher

991.2 GT2RS should be announced this year,

Expected release 2018 and should lap quicker than the 918,

Porsche with the 911 has always set the benchmark with their cars too,

959 was equivalent of a veyron back in the day, using equipment that eventually filtered down to lesser cars.

959 1st with 6 speed i think,

Veyron 1st with dsg

997 Turbo & GT2/3 are the last of the Metzger engines which can be traced back to the 962 i believe,

The 991 marked the end of an era,
