Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0AB29922S696217
Representing the most potent street legal 911 variant, the
996-generation GT2 was an era-defining car for its turnkey
performance that comes courtesy of a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter
flat-six rated at 462 horsepower, sending the power to the rear
wheels through a wonderful six-speed manual transmission. With all
that power and speed naturally comes impressive overall performance
from Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes, sports suspension, and enhanced
aerodynamics. Due to its limited production numbers, with only 355
dispatched to the North American market, this particular example
remains a highly coveted choice for enthusiasts and collectors
since new. Finished in timeless Arctic Silver, the accompanying
CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows that it was acquired by its
original owner in Virginia in July 2005. As a well-optioned
example, the car featured four additional "X" code exclusive
options, which included an Arctic Silver center console, sports
seat backrests painted in matching Arctic Silver, Porsche crests
embossed into the headrests, and stainless-steel door entry
guards.
Today, the car remains in phenomenal condition and was presented
with less than 5,000 miles at the time of cataloging. Thanks to the
care and considerate use by its owners, the car remains in its
original condition, including its paintwork, as verified by the
paint meter readings. With the combination of low mileage and
remarkable presentation offering a virtually as-new experience,
this car is ready to be the centerpiece of any collection searching
for one of the ultimate road-going Porsches of its era.
The Porsche 911 Turbo was customarily always the range-topping
variant in the 911 series-the GT2 of the 996 generation. It was
crystal clear which model reigned supreme, besting even the Turbo
and GT3 in performance, all the while using turbocharging to set
its record-setting numbers. And so, with such limited production,
an excellent example with such low original mileage is particularly
difficult to come by.
