SUMMARY
Just 5,950 miles from new - a left-hand drive GT2RS in stunning order.
DESCRIPTION
1 of only 500 built worldwide and originally supplied by Porsche Centre Oslo
Carrera White with a black leather and Alcantara interior
Impressive specification including the mighty PCCB ceramic brakes and Sport Chrono package plus.
Showing just 5,950 miles this fabulous modern classic presents superbly and will reward any inspection.
The prospect of combining the most powerful turbo engine in their range at the time with a manual gearbox, and mounting them in a rear-wheel drive lightweight 911 was the inspiration for the rather special, GT2. Simultaneously Porsche would upgrade and modify the suspension and brakes, increase the engine output and extensively lighten the car, to create the ultimate driver's version of the current model at that point. This recipe has been used, to great effect, with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911.
This car is the 997 GT2 RS version of the Porsche 911 introduced in May 2010 and is one of just 500 produced worldwide. The 3.6-litre engine uses twin variable-geometry water cooled turbochargers to produce a serious 620bhp and 516 lbs-feet of torque through a six-speed manual transmission, leading to a maximum speed in excess of 205mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.4 seconds! In simple terms, it was the most powerful, road legal 911 ever manufactured at the time. Stopping power, with big Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes, is equally impressive.
Delivered new to Norway and subsequently sold on the 17th November 2010, this rare GT2RS is presented in Carrera White with black leather and Alcantara interior and has only covered just over 5,900 miles from new. The impressive specification is listed here:

Black Leather & Alcantara Interior

This car was imported into the UK in 2017 and then serviced by JZM in May of that year before selling onto our vendor in June. He is a passionate and knowledgeable Porsche man and only buys the best cars he can find - this car is no exception to his rule. Presenting as you would expect for the mileage indicated, this car will reward any close inspection, which we actively encourage. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and all the appropriate books and manuals, this is a very worthy consideration for any serious collector.
