EXTERIOR
GT2 is a nomenclature synonymous with Porsche extravagance and this example looks every bit the part finished in a beautiful coat of Arctic Silver. Markedly different from the Turbo model, the extended front bumper, staggered rear wing and gaping intakes point to both an aerodynamic and performance advantage, although its design remains somewhat more subtle than it's RS stablemate. The front end presents in wonderful order, free of marks or chips. Arrow straight on both flanks, with both of the rear arches again pleasingly mark-free, this GT2 is in first class condition with rubbers, plastics and surrounds remaining soft and supple with no discolouration or age related wear.
INTERIOR
Upon entry you are met immediately by the large carbon fibre GT2 sills as you hunker down into the sport bucket seats. There are a few considered styling additions with a generous array of aluminium on show; a line runs through the middle of the dash from driver to passenger, whilst both the air vents and GT2 handbrake carry the theme further. The leather remains in terrific condition with only very minor creases in keeping with the cars age and use, whilst sills, carpets and gearbox tunnel remain mark and stain free. There is a CD/ Radio present should you wish to swap the soundtrack from whistling turbos and boost. Finally, in keeping with limited variants of years gone by, the GT2 icon sits proudly imprinted in the carpet behind the front seats.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 462bhp engine is derived directly from the company's Le Mans winning 911 GT1 and the shattering performance feels somewhat quicker than more modern machinery, thanks largely to the engines turbo characteristics. Rather more in keeping with Turbo's of the past, there is a short delay before the car boosts forward on a huge wave of torque and with almost 500 lb/ ft, the GT2 was considered a true supercar in terms of performance. That still feels the case to this day; totally encompassing and capturing an intensity that cannot be mimicked by Variable turbine geometry or PDK.
The engine bay presents in fine condition, a combination of stringent upkeep and fastidious ownership with no fewer than 12 service stamps and a folder packed full of invoices.
WHEELS, BRAKES & TYRES
The timeless unmarked 18 inch Turbo wheels remain unmarked and clad in a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres with good tread level. The car is aligned perfectly as documented in the service history and suffers no unwanted braking characteristics, remaining true to line with excellent performance.
Early GT2s had the option of ceramic brakes, this example was supplied from new with steel brakes as confirmed by Porsche keeping replacement costs on the more reasonable side. Discs and pads all round remain in excellent condition.
