SPYSHOTS: Porsche 911 GT2 on the Nurburgring

Porsche 911 GT2 3

The widow-maker is back. Caught testing on the Nurburgring, almost undisguised, is the upcoming Porsche 911 GT2 of the current 991 generation.

Looking rather similar to the naturally-aspirated GT3, the GT2 packs an aggressive-looking front bumper, flared front wheelarches and wide rear haunches incorporating the signature air intakes from the 911 Turbo. Round the back, there are central twin tailpipes and a huge rear wing.

Reports suggest that the Porsche 911 GT2 will likely draw around 560 hp and 700 Nm of torque from a turbocharged 3.8 litre flat-six. The previous car was twin-blown; will this be, too?

A seven-speed twin-clutch PDK ‘box should be the order of the day, making it the first GT2 in history not to come with a self-shifter (same story with the current GT3 and Turbo).

We’re looking at a 0-100 km/h time of under three seconds and a top speed in excess of 320 km/h, so this seems set to be the fastest production 911 to date when it debuts next year.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    Why do they even bother to put on masking tape when their last 3 generations of 911 all look the same? Even if you wrapped the whole car we will still know how it’s gonna look like.

      nope. if you’re a good spotter you can really differentiate between 996, 997 and 991 generation of 911. and can also differentiate the difference of normal Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Turbo, GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 and GT2 RS.
