Default Full 2008 Porsche GT2 brochure leaked (+ Official PR)




We've endlessly covered the impending arrival of Porsche's newest 911 variant, the GT2. Powered by the same force-fed 3.6-liter flat six as the Turbo, yet only sending power to the rear wheels, it's destined to be one of the greatest tarmac toys of this decade. And the cat is unofficially out of the bag.

Some enterprising web-geek was able to download a scan of the GT2 brochure and aside from all the glossy photos; the real dirt is on the second-to-last page – specs.

We'll keep it brief so you can ogle it yourself, but the GT2 is producing 530 HP at 6,500 RPM, and 505 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,200 – 4.500 RPM. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the wheels, and allows the GT2 to run to 60 in 3.6 seconds, to 100 in 7.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 204 MPH. The curb weight is 3,175 pounds. "Respect required," indeed.

This probably isn't nearly as DD-able as the Turbo.
I wish I could afford any P-car (besides Cayman and Boxster).

Supposably the Cayman a really great car to drive, plus is a pretty green one also.
