Why is the 911 GT2 RS more expensive than the GT3 RS?

GT2 RS has a larger rear wing and is more favored by collectors, making it the most powerful road-going version of the 911. Below is relevant information about the Porsche 911: 1. Introduction to the Porsche 911: The Porsche 911 is a sports car produced by Porsche AG in Stuttgart, Germany. It was designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. The Porsche 911 series is one of the most legendary models not only for Porsche but also for Germany and the entire world, and it is also one of the representative models of mid-rear-engine sports cars. 2. Classification of Porsche 911 models: The Porsche 911 series is divided into the Carrera series, Targa series, Turbo series, Turbo S series, and GT series.
When it comes to why the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is more expensive than the GT3 RS, I think the main difference lies in performance. The GT2 RS boasts an insane horsepower of over 700, equipped with a turbocharged engine that delivers outrageous acceleration, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just a few seconds—it feels like driving a rocket. In contrast, the GT3 RS has a naturally aspirated engine with just over 500 horsepower. While it offers refined handling perfect for carving through corners on the track, its straight-line speed can't match that level. The engine and components also come at a higher cost, with features like turbochargers and lightweight materials adding significant expenses. Porsche positions this car as an extreme track toy, limited to just a few thousand units, and its rarity drives the price sky-high. When I've taken it on the track, the GT2 RS's raw aggression feels worth the extra money, but it guzzles fuel like crazy and requires more meticulous maintenance, making it better suited for deep-pocketed pure enthusiasts. In short, chasing the limits of speed comes at a price.
