Porsche 911 GT2 (type 997)
When it was launched in 2007, the 997 911 GT2 was the fastest street-legal 911 ever built. Developed by the Motorsport Department in Weissach, it carries all of the sporty genes that a road vehicle suitable for the racetrack needs.
The GT2 has the widened body of the 911 Turbo, but is rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive. A significant reduction in weight also contributes to the impressive driving performance.
