SSR's Twin-Turbo 911 Still Eyes Sub-7:00.
<cite index="2-12,2-13">SSR Performance's Project Leo targets over 800 hp and a sub-7-minute Nürburgring lap</cite>, blending forced induction with German engineering purity without hybrid compromise.
<cite index="2-1,2-10">Based on the 911 GT3 RS with twin turbos, SSR equipped Porsche's flat-six with two turbochargers</cite>, delivering muffled test runs at the Ring. <cite index="10-2,10-3">Rennlist users note the SSR RS kit produces similar downforce to Manthey but with less dramatic aesthetics and simpler installation</cite>, making it the cheaper aggression route.
<cite index="2-2,2-7,2-8,2-9">The project is framed as clean-sheet development rather than tuning, with SSR spending two years on the 911</cite>. <cite index="2-14,2-15">Visually familiar with GT3 RS rear wing and Manthey-style aero, the car avoids electrification and particulate filters for maximum breathing</cite>. This positions SSR's creation as a direct competitor to the rumoured 992.2 GT2 RS that Porsche has been developing in parallel. The German tuner has long occupied the sweet spot between OEM restraint and aftermarket excess, and this turbocharged approach—combined with manual-only ethos—appeals to a faction of the Rennlist crowd who believe naturally-aspirated engines are becoming as rare as manual gearboxes. Expected lap time would sit comfortably ahead of the standard GT3 RS (7:04) and likely threaten factory GT2 RS timings if real.
