1996 Porsche 993 GT2 'Evo' Coupé Chassis no. WP0ZZZ99ZTS392185 •Delivered new to Switzerland •One of only 173 built in 1996/1997 •Factory 'Evo' upgrade to 444bhp •Only four owners •21,890 kilometres from new •Certificate of Authenticity Fußnoten "Named after a class of endurance race cars, this new series of motorsport-derived cars were designed to deliver a more visceral, harder-edge driving experience for the true enthusiasts. They've been delivering that ever since, and they're now the most desirable of all modern Porsches." – Autocar. Intended primarily for racing, though still road legal, the Porsche 911 GT2 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA's GT2 category of production sports car racing for which it was homologated and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1993 on the Type 993 iteration of the perennial 911, regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form. The Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising two- and four-wheel drive models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest 3.6-litre version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine. The GT2 variant was based on the contemporary 911 Turbo, using essentially the same twin-turbocharged engine. In the GT2 the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine produced around 424bhp initially (444bhp in later models), which was good enough for a top speed of 301km/h (187mph). Acceleration was breathtaking, with 100mph (161km/h) reached from a standstill in a mere 7.2 seconds (at the time, only to the McLaren F1 got there quicker). To make the GT2 fit for track use the brakes, suspension, and wheels were up-rated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, while aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a rear spoiler. Of rear-wheel drive configuration, the GT2 was considerably lighter - by some 300kg - than its Turbo parent. This weight saving was achieved through the use of aluminium body panels and lightweight racing seats, and the deletion of many of the interior fittings, including the Turbo's soundproofing and rear seats. The GT2 also featured widened wheelarches and a larger rear wing with air ducts in the support struts for improved engine cooling. The most expensive model in the 911 range, the GT2 in its original Type 993 incarnation was produced up to 1998. This particular GT2 was first owned by a Dr Walter Aus Der Au. The car's second owner was a lawyer from Lausanne, Switzerland, while the current vendor is its fourth custodian. Having suffered accident damage, the car was restored in 1998 by the Porsche factory in Stuttgart (only the last page of the invoice is available for the moment). Porsche's restoration included a full repaint, and the bodywork remains in superb condition today. While at Stuttgart the GT2 also received the 'Evo' engine upgrade to 450PS (444bhp), while the roll-bar installation was carried out by Porsche Bern at the first owner's request. More recently (in 2018) both turbochargers were replaced because of excess smoke emission. Finished in Polar Silver with black interior, this beautiful GT2 has covered only 21,890 kilometres from new and is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout. Accompanying documentation consists of correspondence with the first owner; insurance paperwork; partial factory invoice; cover page of the Speedster magazine; and cancelled Swiss Carte Grise. The car also comes with its pouch and manuals (including service manual). ◊ Note: If
