2003 Porsche 911 GT2

Throughout recent Porsche 911 history the GT2 has been the fastest, most focused and most expensive version of the iconic car. In 2000, when Porsche introduced the 996 version with 483 bhp and no four wheel drive or driver aids, it quickly gained a reputation as the ultimate driver's car. This makes the GT2 one of the more interesting cars of recent times as most GT Porsches go on to become collectable and thus a car with a reputation like this can only gain kudos and legendary status over time.

No four wheel drive, stability control or traction control, no rear seats, thin glass and a 30mm lower ride height set the opening scene. At the back, the GT2 has a larger fixed wing with extra air intakes tucked in to the supports to feed the turbochargers. Inside, carbon trim is liberaly added and there are huge race style leather seats, but no rear seats. The 483bhp engine is derived directly from the company's Le Mans winning 911 GT1 with a twin turbo 3.6 litre configuration featuring magnesium alloy and titanium in abundance. The advanced 6 speed gearbox derives from the GT2 race cars which have over 1 million miles of racing to their credit, thus 0 - 60 is comes up in just 4 seconds and 0 - 100 in 8.5!

This particular car is in lovely original condition having being UK supplied and first registered on 5th February 2003 to Lancaster Porsche, Colchester. With just 30,950 miles recorded and a full Porsche main dealer service history, there are 8 service stamps in the booklet and a major service was carried out by the original supplying dealer in 2014. Finished in Arctic Silver with black leather, factory option codes include colour-coded sport seats, CD changer and aluminium interior trim.

The 996 GT2 is considered by many to be an underrated model and with only 129 examples ever sold in the UK, the numbers would suggest they have decent long-term investment potential, especially when compared to other GT2 models.
