Porsche 911 (993) GT (1995)

In 1995 Porsche introduced the new 993. Although they were probably unaware at the time this was to be the last of the iconic air-cooled 911s. In competition, all-wheel-drive had been banned by most sanctioning bodies by the mid-1990s. This was as a result of Porsche's success with the four-wheel drive 961, Audi's rally wins with the Quattro, and the later track success of the Nissan Skyline. This presented a problem for Porsche, whose Turbo was fitted with four-wheel drive; the solution was simple and this was the GT2, which was built with rear wheel drive only. A side benefit turned out to be significant weight savings, and the GT2 was instantly competitive.

A factor of Porsche's intention to go racing was that they had to build a number of road legal GT2s in order to homologate the model for racing. At about 430 horsepower the 3.6L twin turbo flat six ran higher boost than the standard Turbo model and developed almost as much horsepower as the racers and was mated to a manual six speed gearbox. The GT2 shared the cutaway wings with the Carrera RS and had removable and replaceable bolt-on flares in order to fit wider wheels for racing and quickly fix crash damage. The Large rear wing provided additional down-force, with air intakes on the sides for the engine. With saving weight in mind the bonnet and doors were aluminum and the side and rear window glass was thinner. In addition the three-piece, light alloy Speedline wheels had magnesium spiders. In fact the body was lowered by 20mm compared to the 911 Turbo to reduce drag.

Please note, this vehicle is no longer for sale.

This LHD first-series example is presented in its original specification as per the factory order on file from September 1995 in Polar Silver with Black/Grey Leather Bucket Seats. With very few options, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a 993 GT2 in its purest form. This car benefits from the highly sought after earlier sports steering wheel (also used in the GT1), top-gradated windscreen, radio delete, a/c delete, manual wind windows and with the mentioned bucket seats fitted. Thus making this the most desirable and ultimate specification GT2 one can find.

A comprehensive maintenance record accompanies the car with no fewer than 28 services detailed in the cars accompanying history file, most recently in June 2024. This example benefits from full paint protection film coverage and is accompanied by its handbooks, tools and jack.
