The 996 GT2 was a game changer! 🚀 The Porsche 996 is still remembered as the most unpopular 911 in the entire series. Mainly due to its - for the 911 - unusual design with egg headlights instead of round lights, but of course also to the switch from air to water cooling. But with the 996 GT2 Porsche released a true Monster. A supercar that was more powerful than anything before and with its lightweight body the 996 GT2 can still compete with many modern days supercars! 😎🏁 : © Photos: @f3fahrzeugforumfiegenschuh // Text: @lnd.magazine #996 #GT2 #Porsche996 #996GT2 __________ HISTORY: When Porsche brought out a GT3 model for the first time with the 996, the waves had already smoothed a bit and with the GT2 Zuffenhausens finally brought a real steam hammer on the road! In contrast to its predecessor with air cooling, the 996 GT2 is a model variant of the 911 built exclusively for road use, but it also has many features derived from motorsport. For example, it already has a chassis mounted on unibal joints that can be adjusted in height, toe and camber. In addition, the 996 GT2 was available as a Clubsport version, just like the 911 GT3. It was the first Porsche to have carbon-ceramic brakes as standard equipment. But maybe the best thing about the 996 GT2 and also the most scary - if you believe the stories of some 996 GT2 owners - is its high level of torque of 640 NM! Based on the 996 Turbo but without it’s all-wheel drive and less weight, it made the 996 a true Monster. __________________________ Figures 996 GT2 (MK2): * Power: 482hp * Torque: 640Nm * 0-100km/h: < 4,0 sec. * 0-200km/h: < 12,0 sec. * Topspeed: > 315 km/h * Price when new: 339.000 DM #911LND #911LegendsNeverDie ›› If you have an interesting story you want us to share too, Hand in via mail at [email protected] (hier: F³ FahrzeugForumFiegenschuh GmbH & Co.
