Description
Lot #769 - In stark contrast to its 993 predecessor, the new 996 GT2 was developed primarily as a road car featuring a twin-turbocharged version of the GT3's 3.6-liter Mezger flat-6 engine boasting an output of 476bhp. Like the 993 GT2, its body differed significantly from those of other 996 variants. Major differences include wider fenders, a more aggressively shaped nose and a large fixed rear wing. The GT2 suffers from hardly any turbo lag and despite a 10-millimeter reduction in ride height from the 911 turbo, the drag coefficient is slightly higher -0.34 versus the turbo's 0.33 due to the fixed wing. This example has a 6-speed manual transmission and 8,043 actual miles.
