As Porsche’s most powerful U.S. sold production car to date, the 911 GT2 is revered by sports car lovers worldwide. One feat that Porsche has accomplished with the GT2 is that this car has successfully combined a stunning design and appearance with optimal performance. Unfortunately, with a price tag just under $200,000… few can afford this modern marvel of technology; which makes sighting this car on the road a rarity. To increase your chances of seeing this beauty in action, look for stressed-out, over-worked doctors recklessly speeding through hospital parking lots and cutting off traffic as they make their way home.

So what does the fastest 911 ever produced for road use offer buyers…? As noted above 530 horsepower and 6,500 rpm and just over 500 foot pounds of torque, that launches the 3,000 plus pound vehicle from 0 – 60 quicker than most motorcycles. Much of this feat is accomplished using the GT2’s Variable Turbine Geometry system, which is a fancy name for Porsche’s latest turbocharger. The system has flow-optimized turbines with large compressors which generate higher boost levels, even at low rpm.
