Porsche didn't demonstrate that. They demonstrated they created a very fast enthusiast car.

If they developed an AWD GT2RS I am certain it would be faster.

It's not just about launch. It's about torque vectoring and exit speed. An AWD car can carry more speed through a corner and out of it.

Porsche handicaps the Turbo S with Summer Tires (PS4S) while the GT3RS Cars get wider and grippier Sport Cups. Put them on the same tires and the Turbos will crush the GT cars anywhere.
