Every Porsche 911 in CSR2, Measured

No car appears more often in CSR Racing 2 than the Porsche 911. There are 63 of them on the record sheet — more than the entire Tier 3 field, and nearly five per cent of the game.

Owning the most entries has not translated into owning the leaderboard. One 911 reaches the global top 100, and in Tier 5 the typical 911 is slower than the typical Tier 5 car.

One car in the top 100 from 63 entries

The Porsche 911 GT3 R rennsport records 6.769 and sits 82nd. That is the only 911 inside the top hundred.

Porsche as a brand has seven cars up there, so the 911 contributes one in seven. The rest are racing cars and specials — the 963, the 962 C, the 917K, the Bisimoto 935 K3V, the Hoonipigasus and the Mission R Concept.

For a brand whose identity is the 911, that is a striking split. The model that defines Porsche is not the model that performs for it in this game.

Most Tier 5 911s are below average

Only 16 of the 51 Tier 5 911s beat the Tier 5 median. The family median of 7.663 is over three tenths slower than the tier's 7.353.

So roughly two thirds of the 911s in Tier 5 are below-average cars for that tier. With 51 entries to choose from, picking one at random is more likely to disappoint than not.

Tier 4 inverts it completely. All seven 911s there beat the tier median, led by the 277 Urban Outlaw at 9.927 and 56th in tier. It is a small sample, but it is unanimous.

The ones worth owning

The GT3 R rennsport, the GT1 Strassenversion and the GT3 R (992) are the three that genuinely compete, all between 6.769 and 6.838. After that there is a gap of eighty milliseconds to the Carrera RS 2.7, and then the field thins quickly.

The Manthey cars run a tune almost nobody uses

The Manthey 911 GT3 RS runs nitrous of 105 over 9.3 seconds, and its gold-star twin runs 63 over 12.0. The GT3 RS Carrera RS 2.7 Tribute also runs 63 over 12.0.

That long, low burn appears on only 36 cars across the whole sheet, and three of them are 911s. All three also run 53/47 tyres rather than the 0/100 that 70% of the game uses.

It is a genuinely different setup philosophy, and it is one of the few places in CSR2 where fast players visibly disagree with the default.

Fourteen fusion pairs, all consistent

The 911 family contains 14 cars recorded in both gold and purple at the same tier, which makes it one of the best natural experiments on the sheet.

Every one falls between 0.032 and 0.059 seconds, clustered tightly around the 0.050-second median we measured across all 226 gold-and-purple pairs on the sheet. No surprises, which is itself useful — fusion behaves on a 911 exactly as it behaves everywhere else.

The RWB builds are a family of their own

Nine entries carry the RWB name, spread across both tiers. The quickest two — the Hoonigan RWB 911 Turbo and the RWB 911 (964) — both record 7.181 on identical 2,291 EVO and identical tunes, including 100/0 tyres, a setting used by only 21 cars in the whole game.

The slower RWB entries switch philosophy entirely, running high-power nitrous of 473, 425 and 347 over five-and-a-half seconds. The fast ones use the standard 188 over 4.0. Within one sub-family, both setups appear on records.

Six Elite Customs entries, one big climb

The Carrera RS 2.7 is the standout. At level 0 it records 8.523; at level 36 it records 6.918 and ranks 196th. That is a gain of 1.605 seconds, well above the 0.907-second median across all 70 Elite Customs spans.

Thirty-six of the 63 carry purple stars, and the family returns a median 0.126 seconds over its dyno predictions — slightly above the sheet median of 0.115, so these are marginally more driver-dependent than average.

At the other end, the slowest Tier 5 911s cluster around nine seconds — the 911 R at 9.044, its level-0 sibling at 8.983, a GT3 RS at 8.964 and a GT3 at 8.895. All four carry under 1,400 EVO, so these are part-built cars rather than poor ones.

The problem with a 63-car family

The practical difficulty with the 911 is not that it is bad. It is that the name covers an enormous range of very different machines, and the badge tells you almost nothing.

A 911 GT3 R rennsport at 6.769 and a 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet at 10.228 share a model name and nothing else. The gap between them is wider than the entire Tier 1 field.

• Best outright: 911 GT3 R rennsport, 6.769 and 82nd. The only 911 in the top hundred.
• Best without Elite Customs: the GT1 Strassenversion at 6.818 and 117th.
• Best Elite Customs project: the Carrera RS 2.7, worth 1.605 seconds across its climb.
• Racing Tier 4: any of the seven. All beat the tier median, which no other family we have profiled manages.
• Avoid assuming the badge means speed. Two thirds of the Tier 5 911s are below the tier median.
