Work motivation on a Friday is always lagging but now that the [2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/12135/the-911-gt2-rs-could-lap-the-ring-in-under-7-minutes-hints-porsche>) configurator is at, motivation is about to hit an all-time low. The [configurator](<https://cc.porsche.com/icc_pcna/ccCall.do?rt=1499442486&screen=1440x900&userID=USM&lang=us&PARAM=parameter_internet_us&ORDERTYPE=991860&MODELYEAR=2018&hookURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.porsche.com%2fusa%2fmodelstart%2f>) allows users to take the base 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS ($294,250) and stretch our legs all the way north of $340,450.

Although some options are modest in cost, others really take a financial hit. For starters, the Miami Blue paint job sets owners back $4,220. Then if you want to spice up the [leather interior with Alcantara](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/10551/2018-porsche-911-carrera-gts-test-drive-not-just-another-package-deal>)expect to pay $3,480. But the true heavy-hitting option is the Weissach Package, priced at $31,000, the Weissach Package uses carbon fiber and other materials to reduce the GT2 RS's weight by 39.68 pounds. Yes, that is $781.25 a pound.

The monstrous 911 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six making [700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque](<https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-gt2-rs/>) and is coupled with a 7-speed PDK gearbox. This will allow the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS to rip to 60 mph in a neck-snapping 2.7 seconds and it will top out at 211 mph.
