The 993-generation 911 Turbo was an exceptional road car employing
all manner of technology gleaned from the 959 supercar, especially
its four-wheel drive system, from just a decade earlier. That very
same system posed a significant challenge for any Turbo based
competition effort. While the four-wheel drive Porsche 961 was a
fruitful test bed, Audi's rally dominance and Nissan's road racing
successes with the Skyline, meant that four-wheel drive race cars
were being banned by most race series by the mid-1990s. This
problem was laid bare for the Porsche Motorsport Department and
like so many exceptional 20th century road cars, the GT2 was the
solution for a racing program loathe to take time away from the
track.
GT2 racing variants would go to substantial success with upgraded
bodywork, suspension, brakes, and wheels to handle the significant
increase in performance. The addition of lightweight parts like an
aluminum hood and door skins, thinner glass, the removal of sound
deadening, and front wheel drive componentry helped the GT2 shed
approximately 300 kilograms. It was a recipe for success on track
and when Porsche was required to build the homologation variant a
sales success as well. Street legal examples boasted 430 horsepower
from the twin-turbo flat-six "M64/60R" engine bringing them closer
to their racing counterpart than the standard Turbo engine.
Performance was exceptional, with zero to 60 mph in about four
seconds, 100 mph in a hair over seven seconds on the way to 187
mph. Of course, the GT2 Strassenversion had the appropriate looks
to match its prodigious performance with cutaway fenders, and bolt
on flares (a by-product of the necessity to quickly index them
during production) were also incorporated to fit a widened track
and wide three-piece magnesium Speedline wheels. When complete, the
911 GT2 was crowned by the motoring press as the king of Porsche's
road-going line up and today is considered the peak of air-cooled
turbocharged cars from Porsche.
According to Porsche 911 GT2 by Mader/Koum chassis number
WP0ZZZ99ZTS392104 was an early production German-market "M002"
Strasse completed on 11 July 1995. Finished in classic Grand Prix
White (the final year offered) it features a Black leather interior
with Dark Grey seat inlays, body color painted Recaro seat backs,
and Guards Red seat belts and door pulls. Factory options include
Air Conditioning, power windows, radio preparation, a green
graduated tint windshield, higher amperage (75) battery, and
airbags. It is one of only 126 left hand drive examples built for
1996. It is unknown when this example left Germany, however its
CARFAX Vehicle History Report locates it in Vancouver, BC, Canada
as early as 2016. By 2022 it was located in Miami, Florida where it
has resided until consignment to Broad Arrow's Air|Water auction
with just under 30,000 kilometers (approximately 18,424 miles) and
is offered with its manuals including the rare 911 GT2 supplement,
and its toolkit. Rarely do roadgoing GT2s become available for
public sale. It should go without saying that the opportunity to
purchase such an exceptional, road going sports car with impeccable
presentation should not be overlooked.
