#Porsche 911 engine case identification driver#
German Porsche test driver Walter Röhrl lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife on a public day in 7 minutes, 32 seconds in the 997 GT2.Ī total of 194 units were sold in the United States and 19 units in Canada. It had a revised front lip, a newly designed rear wing with two small air inlets on either side, and a revised rear bumper featuring titanium exhaust pipes and shark fin outlets. The appearance of the 997 GT2 once again differed from its sister car, the 997 Turbo. The GT2 also recorded a braking distance from 60 to 0 mph of 98 feet (30 m), and 1.10g of lateral grip. The American automotive magazine Motor Trend tested a 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 and achieved a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) acceleration time of 3.3 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 11.3 seconds at 129.1 mph (207.8 km/h). This made it the third Porsche production road car to exceed the 322 km/h (200 mph) barrier, with the exception of the 1998 911 GT1 (of which only 20 units were produced for street use, solely to satisfy ACO homologation requirements for racing). The GT2 accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and on to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.6 seconds, and had a maximum top speed of 328 km/h (204 mph). The engine generated a maximum power output of 390 kW (530 PS 523 hp) at 6,500 rpm and 680 N⋅m (502 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,200 rpm. The GT2's engine was based on the 3.6 L (220 cu in) flat-6 engine as seen on the Turbo, but featured two variable geometry turbochargers. The 996 GT2 was superseded by the 997 GT2 in 2007 after a brief hiatus, with cars arriving at dealerships in November 2007 after an official launch at the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show. the Turbo's 0.33 - due to the fixed rear wing. Despite a 10-millimeter reduction in ride height from the 911 Turbo, the drag coefficient is slightly higher - 0.34 Cd vs. Like the 993 GT2, the body of the 996 GT2 differed significantly from those of other 996 variants major differences included wider fenders, a more aggressively shaped nose, and a large rear wing.Īccording to road testing performed by Car and Driver magazine, the GT2 suffers from hardly any turbo lag. It generated a maximum output of 340 kW (462 PS 456 hp), which was later increased to 355 kW (483 PS 476 hp). The new GT2 took two years to develop and during that time, Porsche decided to abandon the GT2 for motorsports use, instead concentrating on competing in GT3 class racing with the new naturally aspirated 911 GT3.ĭeveloped primarily as a road car in contrast to its predecessor, the new GT2 featured a twin-turbocharged version of the GT3's 3.6 L (220 cu in) flat-six engine.
