The Porsche 911 GT2 was a high performance sports car built by the German manufacturer Porsche from 1993 to 2012. It was based on the 911 Turbo, and uses a similar twin-turbocharged engine, but features numerous upgrades, including engine upgrades, larger brakes, and stiffer suspension calibration. The GT2 is significantly lighter than the Turbo due to its use of rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive, and the lightening or removal of interior components. As a result, the GT2 was the most expensive and had the highest trim level within the 911 lineup.
The 993-generation GT2 was initially built in order to meet homologation requirements for motorsports. Because the cars were built to meet the GT2 class regulations, the road cars were named accordingly. The Porsche 993 GT2 featured widened plastic fenders and a larger rear wing with air scoops in the struts. The 993 GT2’s original 3.6 L (220 cu in) engine developed 316 kW (424 hp); in 1998 it was upgraded to 331 kW (444 hp)). 57 road cars were built (seven of which were right-hand drive). The 993 GT2 has a top speed of 301 km/h (187 mph) and a 0-60 mph (100 km/h) time of 3.9 s.
