VIDEO: This Is How You DON'T Drive A Porsche GT2 RS On The 'Ring

Porsche has been known to build cars that aren't exactly the easiest to drive. Not only was the 550 Spyder responsible for claiming James Dean's life but cars like the 911 and Carrera GT are infamously known for their tendencies to bite the hand that feeds.

And when you're talking about a rear-wheel drive beast like the GT2 RS, you really have to know what you're doing. At least with the Turbo and Turbo S you have all-wheel drive on your side.

When you've got more than 600 horsepower on tap, there's another level of skill required. Unfortunately for the fellow in the video, it appears he suffers from a bit of lift-off oversteer coming over the hill.

Thankfully he doesn't wreck out nor does he get tagged by any of the other 'Ring goers, though he does have several close calls.


**Watch the events unfold below


The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the fastest and most powerful road-going sports car ever built in the history of Porsche. The sports car is also quite exclusive since only 500 have been made.

The 911 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.6 liter six-cylinder boxer engine boosted by two turbochargers. This engine develops 620 horsepower and 700Nm of torque, allowing for a top speed of 330km/h and 0–100 km/h acceleration of 3.4 seconds...

Even with all the aero dynamics and "engineering" it still spins like a hammer when you push it too far.

That is only an advantage if you know how to use it. I personally wouldn't (I don't have enough driving skill or time in rear engined vehicles) be able to control that car properly.

James Dean was killed by a Ford.

One could argue that many things killed him, that Spyder he was driving could certainly be implicated.

All 911's (specially older ones) require some skill to be driven for its engine location and in some cases for its high power rates, nevertheless, the GT2 (997) in all of its variations is a relatively easy car to drive, compared to the previous GT2 (996) that lacked of any driving aids. By the way, it was called "the widow maker"

Wow! Amazing how didn't smash it into the wall after that spin, the guy just made a mistake because to save a car like that requires skill.
