2003 Porsche 911 GT2
When Porsche replaced the 993 generation of the 911 with the all
new 996 generation they certainly gave the model a complete
rethink. After abandoning air-cooling in favor of more traditional
and common water cooling the engineers also spent time giving the
911 a broader appeal.
One such example is the GT2. During the 993 production run the GT2
model was a seriously stripped out 911 Turbo employing rear wheel
drive in order to continue to shed weight. What was left was little
more than a street legal race-car. After spending more than two
years developing the 996 GT2 Porsche decided to let most all of the
creature comforts remain, including power everything, climate
control and leather interior. The result is really a car that can
be used everyday but still manages to carry a power to weight ratio
unlike anything else on the market in it's day.
The 996 GT2 still offered unparalleled performance with nearly 476
bhp pushing just 3k lbs down the road. This car also featured
Carbon Ceramic Braking technology; a first for Porsche on a road
car, and the unmistakable large fixed rear wing and massive front
apron.
The 996 GT2 finally offered the driving and ownership experience
worthy of the top step in the 911 family. The model has remained
there during subsequent generations of the car including the 997
and 991's.
The car we offer here has covered just over 8,000 miles in its
lifetime. It has been expertly cared for wearing all original paint
throughout and an interior free of wear or blemishes. The car
starts easily and settles into a comfortable idle almost
immediately. Once warm you can feel the car wanting to pull very
hard in any gear. The car feels light and ridiculously strong.
You'll want to put heat into those tires and brakes before testing
the car's insane limits. This model is free of guardian angels like
stability control; so be aware!! The drive is thrilling with this
one. The investment grade of this model valued by condition, low
miles and low production numbers (fewer than 1300 worldwide and
fewer than 325 sold in the US) make this a blue chip collectible.
