Porsche 911s come in all shapes and sizes

The 911 GT2 RS is the most radical road-going variant of the 997

Limited to just 500 units, the 997 GT2 RS is a Turbo S with more power, no AWD, and a manual

The 993 is the last air-cooled 911 Turbo, but the first to get AWD

In 1997, Porsche introduced the X50 package, which turned the 993 Turbo into the Turbo S

Porsche 911 GT1 is the only mid-engine 911 ever made

It was built for Le Mans GT1 and FIA GT2 racing in the 1990s, where it showed consistent results due to its reliability

Between 21 and 25 road-going examples were built

The 911 Carrera 2.7 RS solidified the 911 as a capable race car

It was the birth of the Carrera name, the ducktail rear spoiler, and the wide body on 911 models

Thanks to Mezger power, the Carrera 2.7 RS was he fastest car of its day

A modern homage to a legend; The original 911 R was the basis for many 911 race cars and at 1,929 pounds, it was the lightest 911 ever made

The 991 R tips the scales at 3,020 pounds, making it the most lightweight modern-day 911

Single-mass flywheel, close-ratio manual, rear-wheel drive, and 200+ mph capable
