There are supercars, and then there is the Porsche 911 GT2. Unveiled at the 2001 Detroit Auto Show and only produced until 2004, the 996-based GT2 has been described as the “evil twin” of the 911 Turbo. With increased boost and upgraded electronic controls, the car produced 456-hp, and was described by Porsche project manager Hartmut Kristen as being “…for the driver who wants to be able to take his car to its absolute limits on his own.” Stripped of speed-robbing items like rear seats, power “toys”, and even a spare tire, the GT2 included an adjustable rear wing, extra cooling ducts, and a strengthened six-speed manual gearbox. In addition, the GT2 was equipped with ceramic composite anti-lock brakes, lowered springs, an adjustable suspension, and massive, low-profile tires, providing true racecar handling.

To handle its high-speed potential, the GT2 also has a longer nose and other aerodynamic features to increase downforce and stability. Capable of low 12-second quarter-mile times and over 1-g on the skidpad, the GT2 was priced at over $276,000, and left magazine testers speechless. This example is outstanding with just 5,585 actual miles, and it is also stated to be one of only 303 examples produced and remains in exceptional condition. It is offered in the attractive color combination of Arctic Silver with a black interior and is well-documented with its original window sticker, Certificate of Authenticity, books, supplemental books, media kit and service records.
