  • 523 hp at 6,500 rpm, 502ft.lb of torque at 2,200 rpm, 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds

The prospect of combining the most powerful turbo engine in their range at the time with a manual gearbox and mounting them in a 2-wheel drive lightweight 911 was the inspiration for the, rather special, Porsche 911 GT2. At the same time, Porsche upgrades and modifies the suspension, brakes and engine output whilst lightening and removing interior components to create the ultimate driver's version of the car at that time. This recipe has been used with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911 model. This car is the 997 GT2 version of the Porsche 911, introduced in 2008 and produced until 2012. The engine uses twin variable geometry water-cooled turbochargers producing a serious 523bhp and 500 lbs foot of torque, resulting in a maximum speed in excess of 210mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.6 seconds!

First registered on 20/09/2008, this UK-supplied C16 (997) GT2 had been tastefully ordered in Meteor Grey with Black Alacantara carbon-backed sports seats. On offer from seven years of private ownership, our vendor, who is a Porsche enthusiast, describes this example as
