GT2 brochure leaked
New 997 Porsche GT2 revealed
The dealer brochure for the Porsche 997 GT2 has leaked out – and the details are very tasty.
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.
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.
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.
