Eager to prove that they know better than Porsche, American tuner Switzer Performance has come up with an insane engine upgrade package for the 911 GT2, only a few days after the German sportscar maker released their 620-hp GT2 RS.

But having more power doesn’t necessarily means that R911S is a better car than the GT2 RS. Of course the tuner has done a good job tweaking the chassis and suspension.

They have fitted it with titanium inverted-front-strut, remote-reservoir suspension. No idea what that is, but they say it provides racing-grade handling precision. The car also features a special carbon fiber body package for the sake of lightness and better power-to-weight ratio.
