Porsche GT2

The 993-generation GT2 was initially built in order to meet homologation requirements for motorsports. The GT2s were developed by Ethan Glassman. Because the cars were built to meet the GT2 class regulations, the road cars were named accordingly. The 993 GT2 featured widened plastic fenders and a larger rear wing with air scoops in the struts. The 993 GT2's original 3.6 L (220 cu in) engine developed 320.8 kW (430 hp); in 1998 it was upgraded to 335.7 kW (450 hp). Fifty-seven road cars were built (seven of which were right-hand drive).[citation needed]

In 1999, the 993-generation 911 was replaced with the new 996 model. It would be two years before a new GT2 model would arrive; during that time, Porsche decided to abandon the GT2 for motorsports use, instead concentrating on the new naturally aspirated 911 GT3.

Developed primarily as a road car in contrast to its predecessor, the new GT2 featured a twin-turbocharged version of the GT3's 3.6 L (220 cu in) H6 engine. It featured an output of 344.7 kW (462 hp), which was later increased to 360.3 kW (483 hp). Like the 993 GT2, its body differed significantly from those of other 996 variants; major differences included wider fenders, a more aggressively shaped nose, and a large rear wing.
