GT2 brochure leaked

Friday 13th July 2007[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]New 997 Porsche GT2 revealed[FONT=verdana,geneva"]

[FONT=verdana,geneva"]The dealer brochure for the Porsche 997 GT2 has leaked out "" and the details are very tasty. [FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]
The headline figures are 530hp produced at 6,500rpm with 505lb ft of torque developed between 2,200 and 4,500. Porsche is quoting a 0-60mph time of 3.6 sec and a 0-100mph sprint in a scant 7.4 sec. Blimey. Top speed is said to be 204mph.

The rear-drive only GT2 has a six-speed manual gearbox and a claimed a kerb weight of 1,440kg.


530hp in here[FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]The twin turbo flat six has received a number of modifications over the engine found in the regular "˜Turbo', including revised variable vane turbos with larger compressors that generate an additional 2.9 psi of boost; a new "˜expansion' air intake manifold and a titanium exhaust silencer. The latter is said to produce a "˜warm, deep, bass-rich sound', according to the brochure. Yum. [FONT=verdana,geneva"] [FONT=verdana,geneva"]
The GT2 also has 19" wheels as standard; adjustable suspension; a full suite of switchable PSM aides; Porsche's PCCB carbon brakes and some serious-looking bucket seats. There's even a new launch-control system: dial in 13psi of boost and dump the clutch "" the electronics optimise the engine for the rest.

The GT2 is expected to make an official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.

Clever marketing here,

By quoting a '0-60mph' time instead of the now usual '0-62mph' time, Porsche are taking your attention away from the fact that its actually slower to 60mph than the Tiptronic 997 TT !!

Barely anything in it to 100mph either.

Should be much, much faster I think. We can get better figures than these from the aftermarket Boys afterall.

Todays Autocar have the GT2 down as fastest 911 yet!
