Porsche 996 GT2

The Porsche 996 GT2 is a high-performance sports car produced by the German automaker Porsche from 2001 to 2005. It was a part of the 996 generation of the Porsche 911 model line.

The 996 GT2 was a significant departure from previous GT2 models as it was the first to be designed more as a street-legal sports car than a track-oriented machine, though it still offered exceptional performance.

Here are some key features and details about the Porsche 996 GT2:

1. Engine: The 996 GT2 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six engine that produces around 456 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, making it a favorite among driving purists.
2. Performance: With its powerful engine and lightweight construction, the 996 GT2 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just about 4.0 seconds and can reach a top speed of nearly 196 mph.
3. Design: The GT2 is based on the 996 Turbo but has a more aggressive appearance. It includes a fixed rear wing for increased downforce, larger air intakes for improved cooling, and a more aerodynamic front bumper. The 996 GT2 also stands out with its wider rear wheel arches and a unique wheel design.
4. Handling: Unlike the 996 Turbo, the GT2 doesn’t have all-wheel drive but instead is a rear-wheel-drive car, which makes it more challenging to handle but also more rewarding for skilled drivers. It features a sport-tuned suspension and strong brakes for excellent performance on the track.
5. Interior: The interior of the 996 GT2 is a mix of luxury and sportiness, with leather upholstery and comfort features like automatic climate control and power-adjustable seats. However, in a nod to its track-oriented roots, it lacks some of the amenities found in other 911 models to save weight.

The 996 GT2 is a sought-after model among Porsche enthusiasts for its blend of raw performance and everyday drivability. As with any high-performance car, potential buyers should be aware that maintenance costs can be high, particularly as these vehicles age. Always have a prospective purchase inspected by a knowledgeable mechanic to identify any potential issues.

This GT2 was delivered new in Germany. It is in mint condition with no signs of usage.

The Porsche comes with German Papers.
