Will The Upcoming 911 GT2 RS Stand A Chance Against The New Corvette ZR1?

Based on what we know, we stack Porsche's forthcoming flagship model against Chevy's latest track-focused 'Vette to find out

Chevrolet recently announced its long-awaited track-focused Corvette ZR1 for the 2025 model year

But how does it stack up against the next GT2 RS? We break it down based on what we know about Porsche upcoming model

The first 911 GT2 arrived in 1993 in the form of the 993 generation. It had a 444-hp 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six

Comparatively, the Corvette ZR1 dates back even further in 1970. It packed a 370-hp 5.7-liter V8

Currently, the C8-gen Corvette ZR1 packs some otherworldly specs. A 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that's rated to a maximum of 1,064 hp!

While Chevrolet is enjoying the attention, there's a new 911 GT2 RS in the works

The 992-gen 911 GT2 RS is expected to be the most potent 911 ever made

There's a higher chance of a twin-turbo flat-six, the same as the 911 Turbo model, will power the 992 911 GT2 RS

You could be looking at 800 hp, since the 991-gen 911 GT2 RS produce 691 hp. A 100 hp would be a solid bump

There's a thin chance that the upcoming 911 GT2 RS will outshine the Corvette ZR1 in raw performance

However, the GT2 RS's lightweight construction can give the Corvette a hard time in acceleration

The Corvette ZR1 is a track weapon and adopts all the chassis goodies of the Z06, including the Magnetic Ride Control 4.0.

The ZR1 packs massive 15.7-inch carbon ceramic rotors as standard

We expect the 911 GT2 RS to feature chassis features such as rear-axle steering, DRS, and the fully adjustable suspension system
