"Named after a class of endurance race cars, this new series of motorsport-derived cars were designed to deliver a more visceral, harder-edge driving experience for the true enthusiasts. They've been delivering that ever since, and they're now the most desirable of all modern Porsches." – Autocar.
Intended primarily for racing, though still road legal, the Porsche 911 GT2 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA's GT2 category of production sports car racing for which it was homologated and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1993 on the Type 993 iteration of the perennial 911, regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all.
Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form. The Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest 3.6-litre version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine.
First seen at the Essen Motor Show in November 1994 in prototype form, the GT2 variant was based on the contemporary 911 Turbo, using essentially the same twin-turbocharged engine but driving only the rear wheels rather than the Turbo's all four. In the GT2 the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine produced around 424bhp initially (444bhp in later models), which was good enough for a top speed of 301km/h. Acceleration was breathtaking, with 161km/h reached from a standstill in a mere 7.2 seconds (at the time, only the McLaren F1 got there quicker). Versions intended for track use featured an engine with more extensive modifications, producing all of 480bhp.
To make the GT2 fit for track use the brakes, suspension, and wheels were up-rated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, while aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a rear spoiler. Lacking the Turbo's AWD transmission, the GT2 was considerably lighter - by some 300kg - than its parent. This weight saving also extended to the use of aluminium body panels and lightweight racing seats, and the deletion of many of the interior fittings, including the Turbo's soundproofing and rear seats. The GT2 also featured widened wheelarches and a larger rear wing with air ducts in the support struts for improved engine cooling. The most expensive model in the 911 range, the GT2 in its original Type 993 incarnation was produced up to 1998.
Sports Car International magazine published a road test of the GT2 in its September 1995 edition. Predictably, they found much to admire in Porsche's new supercar: "For the experienced driver, then, the GT2 is possibly the most exhilarating car on this side of a McLaren F1. It offers F40-style grunt in a completely civilised package, and like the F40 it's an intoxicating challenge to drive well on the limit. But while the Porsche 911 GT2 spits you down a road or a track as quickly as any enthusiast could wish, it's also docile enough for your grandmother to drive to the corner store..."
A 1996 model, the Porsche 911 GT2 we offer was built to German specification and delivered new at the works in Stuttgart on 31st July 1995 with 132 kilometres showing on the odometer. It is an example of the street version; specification highlights include the following:
Electric windows
Air conditioning
Power steering
92-litre fuel tank
Driver and passenger airbags
Bucket seats
18" wheels
Strut brace
Limited-slip differential
Immobiliser and remote control
Onboard computer
The first post-delivery inspection was carried out at Mizwa in Japan on 3rd June 1996, and the Porsche was maintained by them continuously until 7th July 2007 at 10,032 kilometres. The car subsequently returned to Europe and was registered in Monaco on 31st May 2013. It was then sold to Munich, Germany and serviced at Porsche Zentrum Olympia Park Munich on 15th June 2016 at 12,574 kilometres (invoice for €3,828 on file dated 4th July).
The GT2 comes with a full report from DEKRA dated 23rd August 2016 clearly stating that no previous accident damage or repair work is noticeable and that the paint thickness measurements mentioned are to factory standards, suggesting that the car was on its first coat of paint from Porsche. The Porsche was subsequently sold to a Belgian enthusiast, joining the other important cars in his collection from the famous German marque. The last full service was carried out at official Porsche dealers Kronos on 25th October 2022 at 12,829 kilometres for €9,052.
Offered with its stamped service book, owner's manual, Porsche leather pouch and second original key, this beautiful 911 GT2 would make a wonderful addition to any Porsche or supercar collection. An opportunity not to be missed.
