911 GT2

2007–2009Coupé

The 997 GT2 was released in November 2007 as the road version of the 2007 GT2 racing car. Its 3.6-litre flat-six used two variable-geometry turbochargers to develop 530 PS (523 hp) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft), making the rear-drive GT2 the fastest two-seat Porsche at the time with 330 km/h (205 mph) and 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.4 seconds. Weight was trimmed by 70 kg (154 lb) against the Turbo through thinner body panels and a lithium-ion battery, carbon-ceramic brakes, a titanium exhaust system and lightweight forged wheels. It was the first Porsche to feature launch control. A total of 1,242 examples were built during the 2008–2009 period.
