Official pictures!

New Porsche 997 GT2

---

Spurred on perhaps by the leakage earlier today of their forthcoming GT2 brochure, Porsche has now released these official images of the awesome new 997 GT2.

The car will cost £131,070 in the UK which includes the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System and a Porsche Driving Experience course.

The car will be officially on sale in this country from November 2007.

Tasty...

[Fidgits]

I dont like those gills on the back bumper...

But apart from that, tis lush.

[Erik997]

In red with black wheels please...

[scotty_917]

u see...I told you so....sat nav....must be a girls car!

[ACW]

I agree Fidgits - I think the GT3 is purer in concept and styling, and that would be my choice over this. Mind, if I had that money spare I could think of one hundred better ways to sped it. Okay, maybe 99...

Why can't they bring back the original '88 Turbo spoiler ? this one is horrible.

Don't think much of the fussy instruments either : Porsche dashboards used to be so clear and concise.

Otherwise it's great.

Oh no! Not Silver PLEASE!

What a car id have 1 any day

Just doesn't look as quietly menacing as the 996 GT2 for some reason

[costanzo427]

hmmm... a bit underwhelming. Honestly, I think I would rather have a turbo AND a GT3 in my garage, this GT2 just doesn't do it for me. But it still is spectacular.

I agree, the instrumentation may be a masterpiece of technical wizardry, but it is cluttered in the extreme

or a 993 GT2. At least you can tell what one of those is from a hundred paces! I'm not knocking it though, but please lets get a little more lairy agian with the styling of the special ones. Just IMO.

In dark colours, fantastic. In light colours, front looks 'gap-toothed' (unless the splitter is colour-coded) and the rear gills look Halfords. Black with black wheels would look savage.
