All in all it looks good.

[Raza]

Damn.  I need some alone time.

My god, it's beautiful. I gotta know more about it.

I gotta know more about it.

Well it has 530hp (DIN) and 685Nm of torque brought to the wheel by a 6 speed manual transmission. The car has a launch control system you press the clutch and gas peddle all the way through and when the turbo boost reaches 1.3 bar you let the clutch go. The system is designed to avoid unneeded punishment of the clutch.  0-62mph in 3.7s, the top speed is 328km/h. The Gt2 weighs in at 1,440kg. 

The exhaust system is made from titanium.

Absolutely insane. I need one.

[Nethead]

How much is the GT2?

[SVT666]

The only Porsche besides the '96-'98 911 Turbo 3.6 that I actually like.

[Lebowski]

Looks sweet.

[Raza]

Looks sweet.

Why thank you.

[Submariner]

They better have worked wonders over the Turbo...

I was going to post some kind of quip like I sure hope this is actually faster around a track than a Shelby GT500

Hell, I'll be happy if they manage it to run faster than a Colbalt SS...Just give us something Porsche!

[JYODER240]

How much is the GT2?

Probably pushing 150K.

well seeing the GT2 and GT3 historically have track oriented suspension settings and lightweight components compared to the more GT'ish Turbo models... i predict there is little to worry about

My new dream car.....

Just give me a Z06 and I'll pocket the rest!

[1 BAD 7]

Good point........bang for the buck Z06 is a beast.

[El Barto]

My God that car looks mean in black.  I want one. 

[deesea]

gorgeous. nuff said

When we're talkin' best for the buck, the GT2 is the beast.  Unless you have a 959, of course...

[omicron]

Oh my.

[Raghavan]

Awesome.

[JYODER240]

When we're talkin' best for the buck, the GT2 is the beast.? Unless you have a 959, of course...

The GT2 is probably only slightly faster than a Z06 and costs twice as much. A 959 is probably slower than both an commands an astronomical price. If you're talking bang for the buck the Z06 is far ahead of any Porsche.

Best value for a Porsche is the GT3.

That said, this thing looks great. The Hayabusa of Porsches. I wonder how much power it will make, and what it will go up against.... and most importantly, if it will be scary to drive, in typical GT2 tradition. We'll see...

[Michael Estorol]

Rumour has it that Walter Rohrl has posted a 7:29 'Ring time in the GT2.

I just read that it'll make 50 MORE horse power than the 911 Turbo and cost almost twice as much as the GT3.

Well, that's pretty fast.
