And finally info on the 911 GT 2
Driving Dynamics and Exclusiveness
Porsche has a long-standing tradition of offering its customers a competitive model for popular motor sport. During the 1994 season, sports drivers booked numerous racing successes with the 911 Carrera RSR/RS 3.8. For the new season, Porsche offers the 911 GT 2, prepared to international GT regulations. The everyday, road version of this new Porsche 911 GT 2 will be delivered, as of April, with a br-turbo engine and performance of 316 kW C430 HP).
The new 911 Turbo with its 3.6 liter, boxer engine and dual exhaust turbochargers serves as technical basis for this Porsche 911 GT 2. Numerous modifications to power plant, bodywork, chassis and accessories, as well as a performance increase of 16 kW (22 HP) in conjunction with a weight reduction of around 200 kilograms, ensure competitiveness of this rear-drive 911 GT 2. These measures result in unusual performance: acceleration from zero to 100 krrþh in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 295 kilometers per hour.
Important engine changes include an increase of maximum boost pressure to 0.9 bar, newly adjusted engine management for the Motronic M 5.2 and air intakes at each side of the rear wing to improve airflow. A front oil cooler provides additional, effective engine cooling.
The new, six-speed gearbox is adapted to the rear-axle drive unit of the 911 GT 2. Necessarily longer gear ratios than the 911 Turbo could be achieved through tires of larger rolling circumference. The road version uses a clutch with a noise-reducing, duaknass flywheel called ZMS. When the optional Clubsport package is ordered, ZMS is replaced by a pickup plate with torsional damper, to ensure system integrity under the extremely high loads of racing. The dynamic lockup system consists of Porsche's ABD braking differential, effective up to 70 kilometers per hour, and asymmetric rear-axle lockup. Forty percent lockup is available in traction conditions, 65 percent on overrun. This provides a stabilizing effect when cornering or during load cycles.
A special chassis setup for the 911 GT 2 guarantees maximum possible active driving safety, outstanding prerequisites for competition and complete everyday usability. This car is lowered by twenty millimeters overall, compared to the 911 Turbo. In addition to that, the 911 GT 2 uses new frontaxle kinematics and its support bearings are adjustable. A stiffer subframe and relevant link bearings for the rear axle provide even more precise wheel control. Increased rear-axle camber further increases lateral control when cornering. The front stabilizer provides five positions, the rear three, to permit individual adjustment to surface conditions and tire variations. Light-metal, 9Jx18 wheels for 235/40 ZR 18 tires are mounted in front,11 JxlB for 285/35 ZR 18 tires in the rear. Servo assistance was retained for the steering, but a more direct steering ratio was chosen.
This 911 GT 2 follows fine old Porsche tradition in its highly-effective, race-level braking system. An ABS 5 antHblock unit and electronic-hydraulic, high-pressure brake servo are the key factors in this. Above all, direct fresh-air passages and four-piston, fixed-saddle brakes with large, vented and cross-bored brake discs provide high thermal reliabilitlr. Brake area was enlarged by up to 17 percent, compared to the RS 3.8.
The 911 GT 2 body received additional strengthening and a shock-tower brace. Luggage compartment lid and doors are made of aluminum. The car uses plastic fender flares (32 millimeters in front, 30 in the rear), to accommodate larger wheels. An additional spoiler for the nose unit, as well as fixed rear spoiler with adjustable wing angle, ensure vital downforce for vehicle stability.
To reduce weight, rear and side windows are made of thin glass, window cranks and outside-mirror adjustment are mechanical. The rear seats are removed and extremely light bucket seats fitted in front. Trim panels and soundproofing materials were largely eliminated. Doors carry closing handles and straps to open them. Classic 911 instruments remain unchanged, the three-spoke sporting steering wheel does not carry an air bag. Air bags and air conditioning are options. Drive-away prevention is standard.
This 911 GT 2 can also be delivered by the factory with an optional Clubsport package, permitting road registration in some lands. It includes race-oriented safety equipment such as roll bar, sixpoint seat harness, main battery switch, fire extinguisher and contoured bucket seats. The untrimmed interior is painted in the car color.
The carefully balanced concept of this new Porsche 911 GT 2 offers the exceptional driving experience of an unusually agile and exclusive road-going sports car at its best.
