"Exactly how quick are we talking? Two-eight to 62mph. 211mph top speed. And with a lap time of 6min 47sec it's quicker round the Nürburgring Nordschleife than any other production car, including the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and Porsche's own 918 Spyder hypercar." – Car magazine reviewing the Porsche 911 Type 991 GT2 RS in November 2017.
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.
The GT2 was based on the contemporary 911 Turbo, using essentially the same twin-turbocharged engine. In the GT2, the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six produced around 414bhp initially, which was good enough for a top speed of 301km/h (187mph). 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. Of rear-wheel drive configuration, the GT2 was considerably lighter than the Turbo, many of the interior fittings having been deleted, and was the most expensive model in the 911 range. In its original Type 993 incarnation, the Porsche 911 GT2 was produced up to 1998.
Although the successor Type 996 range had arrived in 1999, it was not until 2002 that a GT2 version of this new model became available, by which time Porsche's motor sports programme had switched to the normally aspirated GT3. Thus the Type 996 GT2 was developed primarily as a road car, albeit one that retained its track-orientated predecessor's characteristically aggressive-looking bodywork. Motive power was still provided by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo engine, though now it was water-cooled. Maximum power was around 455bhp (later 476bhp), which was transmitted to the wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
GT2 production had always lagged behind that of the less exotic models in the 911 range, and so it was that the Type 997 version did not appear until 2007, some three years after the first such models had gone on sale. This new GT2 was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with cars arriving at dealerships in November 2007. Once again, the GT2's appearance differed from that of its 997 Turbo sister car, with further aerodynamic enhancements front and rear.
The Type 997 GT2's engine was based on the existing 3.6-litre unit, though its twin turbochargers were now of the 'variable geometry' type, designed to provide optimum boost and throttle response at all engine speeds. With this new technology came a useful increase in power, the Type 997 GT2 having all of 522bhp and 501lb/ft of torque at its disposal, the latter available from as low as 2,200 revs. In 2008, Motor Trend magazine achieved a 0-60mph time of 3.3 seconds and a standing quarter-mile of 11.3 seconds with 'their' GT2, while the latter's claimed top speed of 204mph made it one of only a tiny handful of Porsche road cars capable of exceeding 200mph.
And if that was still not enough, customers with even deeper pockets could order the GT2 RS. Conceived as a special project and announced in May 2010, the RS developed 612bhp and 516lb/ft of torque while weighing 150lb (70kg) less than the standard GT2. The engineering team's aim had been to set a new record for the Nürburgring's challenging Nordschleife circuit, which Porsche test-driver Timo Kluck duly achieved.
In June 2017 the latest iteration of the GT2 RS arrived in the form of the Type 991, which was officially launched by Porsche at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The 991 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 691bhp, making it the most powerful production 911 ever built. Unlike previous GT2s, the Type 991 has a seven-speed PDK transmission. Porsche claims that the GT2 RS will accelerate from 0-97km/h (0-60mph) in 2.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 340km/h (211mph). A production run of 1,000 units was planned.
Unusually, the Type 991 version has a roof made of magnesium, while the front bonnet, front/rear wings, and boot lid are carbon-fibre. Lightweight polyurethane is used for the front and rear aprons, and polycarbonate for the rear and side windows. The exhaust system is titanium. All of which adds up to a claimed wet weight of 1,470kg (3,241lb).
Purchased new by the current owner, this 911 GT2 RS Weissach has been regularly maintained by Porsche Centre Oman, as evidenced by their detailed invoices on file. The car presents the Racing Yellow paintwork which benefits from the application of a protective film. Other notable options include the following: Black leather interior; 90-litre fuel tank; Front axle lift system; Reversing camera; Floor mats; Bose surround sound audio system; Dashboard trim package in leather; Automatically dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor; Chrono package and preparation for lap trigger; Wheels painted in satin platinum; LED main headlights.
Accompanying documentation includes a full listing of the car's specification; an Omani registration document and export certificate; and the aforementioned invoices. Please note that bidders should satisfy themselves as to registration requirements in their own jurisdiction.
Please note that if this vehicle is to be imported into Switzerland, Swiss Customs charges (Car Tax, VAT and a Customs Administration Fee) will apply totalling roughly 13% of the Purchase Price (Hammer + Buyers Premium). Swiss Car Tax at 4% shall be calculated on the total Purchase Price. Swiss VAT (8.1%) will then be applicable on the aggregated amount of the Hammer Price, Buyer's Premium and Swiss Car Tax. There will equally be a charge for the customs clearance procedure. Please note that customs rates to other countries shall vary. This vehicle will not be available for immediate collection after the sale and will only be released on completion of customs clearance. If you have any questions regarding customs clearance, please contact the Bonhams|Cars Department or our recommended shippers.

"De quelles performances parlons-nous au juste ? Deux-huit pour le 0 à 100 km/h, 339 km/h de vitesse de pointe. Et avec un temps au tour de 6 minutes 47 secondes sur la Nordschleife du Nürburgring, elle est plus rapide que toute autre voiture de série, même la Lamborghini Huracan Performante et l'hypercar 918 Spyder de Porsche lui-même." – Le magazine Car de novembre 2017, à propos de la Porsche 911 Type 991 GT2 RS.
Conçue avant tout pour la course, tout en étant homologuée route, la Porsche 911 GT2 descend d'une lignée de modèles successifs hautement performants remontant à la légendaire 911 Carrera RS de 1973. Elle tire son nom de la catégorie GT2 de la FIA, celle des voitures sportives de série dans laquelle elle a été homologuée, et a été produite dans différentes versions depuis qu'elle a été introduite en 1993 sur la génération Type 993 de l'intemporelle 911.
La GT2 dérivait de la 911 Turbo du moment, dont elle reprenait l'essentiel du moteur double turbo. Dans la GT2, le six-cylindres à plat de 3,6 litres refroidi par air délivrait initialement environ 420 chevaux qui lui assuraient une vitesse de pointe de 301 km/h. Pour l'adapter à la piste, ses freins, sa suspension et ses roues furent redimensionnés en accord avec son substantiel surcroît de performances et son appui aérodynamique fut majoré à l'aide d'un grand spoiler avant et d'un béquet arrière. La GT2, une propulsion, était considérablement plus légère que la Turbo, du fait de la suppression de nombreux éléments d'équipement intérieur, et elle était la plus coûteuse de la gamme 911. La Porsche 911 GT2, dans sa première version Type 993, fut produite jusqu'en 1998.
Bien que la gamme qui prenait la relève, la Type 996, ait été lancée en 1999, il fallut attendre 2002 pour qu'apparaisse sa variante GT2, car entre temps, le programme sportif de Porsche s'était orienté vers les GT3 atmosphériques. C'est ainsi que la Type 996 GT2 fut d'abord développée en tant que voiture de tourisme, mais tout en conservant le style de carrosserie agressif typique, fait pour la piste, de sa devancière. Elle était toujours motorisée par un 3,6 litres double turbo, mais désormais refroidi par eau. Celui-ci délivrait environ 462 ch (et plus tard, 483 ch) qu'une boîte manuelle à six rapports transmettait aux roues.
La production des GT2 avait toujours démarré avec un décalage par rapport à celle des versions moins exotiques de la gamme 911, et il en alla de même pour celle basée sur la Type 997, qui n'apparut pas avant 2007, quelque trois ans après le lancement de cette génération. Cette nouvelle GT2 fut lancée au Salon de Francfort et les voitures arrivèrent en concession en novembre 2007. Une fois encore, l'allude de la GT2 différait de celle de sa sœur la 997 Turbo par des ajouts aérodynamiques avant et arrière.
Le moteur de la Type 997 GT2 dérivait du 3,6 litres existant, mais ses deux turbos étaient maintenant à géométrie variable, de façon à fournir une suralimentation et une réponse à l'accélérateur qui soient optimales à tous les régimes. Cette évolution technologique assurait à la Type 997 GT2 un intéressant surcroît de puissance, à 530 ch et 680 N.m de couple, ce dernier disponible dès le régime incroyablement bas de 2 200 tr/min. En 2008, le magazine Motor Trend chronométra sur "sa" GT2 un 0 à 100 km/h en 3,3 secondes et un 400 m départ arrêté en 11,3 secondes. La vitesse de pointe de 328 km/h revendiquée pour la voiture faisait d'elle l'une des très rares Porsche de tourisme capable de dépasser les 320 km/h.
Et si tout cela ne suffisait pas, les clients encore plus fortunés pouvaient commander la GT2 RS. Conçue en tant que projet à part et annoncée en mai 2010, la RS développait 620 ch et 700 N.m de couple tout en pesant 70 kg de moins que la GT2 de base. L'objectif de son équipe de conception avait été d'établir un nouveau record de temps sur le redoutable circuit de la Nordschleife du Nürburgring, ce que le pilote d'essai de Porsche, Timo Kluck, parvint à faire.
En juin 2017 arriva la dernière itération de la GT2 RS, sous la forme de la Type 991 ; elle fut officiellement lancée par Porsche lors du Goodwood Festival of Speed de 2017. Cette 991 GT2 RS est animée par un six-cylindres à plat double turbo de 3,8 litres délivrant 700 ch, ce qui fait d'elle la 911 de série la plus puissante jamais construite. Contrairement aux précédentes GT2, la Type 991 dispose d'une boîte PDK à sept rapports. Porsche annonce pour sa GT2 RS un 0 à 100 km/h en 2,7 secondes et une vitesse de pointe de 340 km/h. Sa production devait être limitée à 1 000 exemplaires.
De façon inhabituelle, la Type 991 reçoit un pavillon en magnésium et un couvercle de coffre avant, des ailes avant et arrière et un capot arrière en fibre de carbone. Les jupes avant et arrière sont en polyuréthane et les vitres latérales et arrière en polycarbonate. L'échappement est en titane. Toutes ces mesures d'allègement permettent d'afficher un poids en ordre de marche de 1 470 kg.
Achetée neuve par son actuel propriétaire, cette 911 GT2 RS Weissach a été régulièrement entretenue par le Centre Porsche d'Oman, ainsi que le montrent ses factures détaillées présentes au dossier. Elle est de couleur Racing Yellow, et sa peinture est recouverte d'un film de protection. On recense parmi ses options les plus notables un intérieur en cuir noir, un réservoir de 90 litres, un dispositif d'augmentation de la garde au sol avant, une caméra de recul, des tapis de sol, un système audio Bose surround, un tableau de bord gainé de cuir, des rétroviseurs électrochromes et un capteur de pluie, un pack chrono avec préconditionnement pour chronométrage par lap triger, des roues de couleur satin platinum et des projecteurs à LED.
La documentation accompagnant la voiture se compose d'une liste complète de ses caractéristiques, d'un document d'immatriculation d'Oman avec un certificat d'exportation et des factures déjà citées. Veuillez noter que les enchérisseurs doivent vérifier par eux-mêmes quelles sont les exigences de leur pays en matière d'immatriculation.
Veuillez noter que si ce véhicule est importé en Suisse, les frais de douane suisses (taxe sur les véhicules, TVA et frais d'administration douanière) s'appliqueront pour un total d'environ 13 % du prix d'achat (prix au marteau + prime d'acheteur). L'impôt suisse sur les véhicules, d'un montant de 4 %, sera calculé sur le prix d'achat total. LA TVA suisse (8.1%) sera alors applicable sur le montant cumulé du prix d'achat, de la prime d'acheteur et de la taxe suisse sur les véhicules. La procédure de dédouanement sera également facturée. Veuillez noter que les taux de douane pour les autres pays peuvent varier. Ce véhicule ne sera pas disponible pour un enlèvement immédiat après la vente et ne sera libéré qu'une fois le dédouanement effectué. Si vous avez des questions concernant le dédouanement, veuillez contacter le département Bonhams|Cars ou nos expéditeurs recommandés.
