And in GT2 for years no one challenged Porsche's 911 for speed, reliability, consistency and results. Its success led Porsche to create a new model, the Carrera GT2, combining the names of two fabulously successful Porsche racing venues. Introduced in 1994, the Porsche GT2 was built to comply with FIA and ACO regulations. Twin turbocharged, wide body, and light weight, the first GT2s featured air ducts in the rear wing supports, a feature which would come to characterize the GT2 series in coming years.
An improved 997-series 911 and a new GT2 was introduced in late 2007 as a 2008 model. With variable geometry turbochargers its 3.6 liter 4-valve, variable timing quad camshaft flat six developed 530hp at 6,500rpm and a staggering 505ft-lb torque at only 2,200rpm with a flat torque curve from there to 4,500rpm. Capable of 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds, the 997-series 911 Carrera GT2 was – somewhat surprisingly after all Porsche's legendary road car accomplishments – the first road Porsche to break 200mph. Its top speed is 204mph.
The prodigious power and torque of the 3.6-liter engine passed through a conventional 6-speed manual transmission. Weighing 3,170 pounds with full road and passenger equipment, the power-weight ratio is under 6 pounds per horsepower. In another first for Porsche, the 997 GT2 was equipped from the factory with carbon-ceramic brake discs squeezed by 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston calipers at the rear. Innovative design of the "expansion-type intake manifold" achieved the seemingly contradictory results of increased absolute power and increased fuel efficiency.
Many other features distinguish the 997-series 911 Carrera GT2 including a unique nose and splitter, the now characteristic rear wing with air ducts integrated into the pylons, muffler and tailpipes made of lightweight titanium and Porsche Active Suspension Management with 19" diameter wheels mounted with 235/35 front and massive 325/30 rear tires. The interior is configured as the work station for a dedicated driver, but one accustomed to comfort and convenience. Sports-style bucket seats are upholstered in leather with Alcantara centers. The seats themselves are molded from glass and carbon fiber reinforced composites with carbon fiber surfaces.
Alcantara covers the steering wheel rim, shift knob and other interior surfaces. A high-end stereo system is standard. The list of advanced and innovative features of the 2008 911 GT2 goes on and on, a copywriter's dream assignment, but also a driver's dream car that matches comfort with performance to a degree that is unmatched in any of its contemporaries.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Finished in a color reminiscent of some of the earliest German Grand Prix cars, this Carrera White Porsche GT2 represents one of the more extreme performance cars in the Stuttgart firm's storied past. This historic theme continues beyond the painted wheels and exterior graphics to the interior finished with black leather and Alcantara. The center tunnel and dash trim contrast in a matching Carrera White finish to complete the look. All in, it makes for a very refined and smart build for such a unbridled type of car. Additional options include fully red tail lamps, an aluminum footrest, and a parking aid system for low-speed convenience.
Remaining under good care for its life, the roughly 8,300 miles on the odometer have been accrued by just 3 owners. The first of which was an individual from Redwood, California who put the bulk of the distance on the clock. After just shy of 4 years of ownership, the Porsche found a new home within the same town. With this second owner is where the remainder of the mileage was rolled. 3 years ago, the car found its most recent, 3rd owner. The clean Carfax further documents a number of standard routine maintenance jobs were carried out by Carlsen Porsche located within Redwood, California.
A handsome and powerful Porsche such as this will surely be the jewel of any collection. Well optioned, this GT2 is bound to deliver its next owner countless turbo charged thrills and will certainly gain further desirability as the years go on.
