The first production Porsche fitted with carbon-ceramic brakes as standard

In the realm of modern-era Porsches, few models boast a reputation which precedes them quite as much as the 996-generation 911 GT2. The lovechild of the quick and comfortable Turbo and the more hardcore track-oriented GT3, the premise behind the GT2 was simple.
In losing the heavy front differentials of the four-wheel-drive Turbo and encompassing lightweight bits and pieces such as the carbon-ceramic brakes (a standard feature!), the GT2 shed some 100kg. And it was more powerful, too – 42HP more powerful, to be precise, as though the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six needed any more power. To top the GT2 off, the wizards in Weissach removed the traction control and the stability control. Because there was no interference necessary with Porsche’s flagship supercar. The final result was nothing short of mind-blowing – a razor-sharp and über-fast supercar that rewarded skilled drivers with depths of performance few of its rivals could plunge. So revered was the GT2’s performance that all but the most hardcore of Porsche pilgrims took up the chance to buy one. As a result, the GT2 remains a comparatively rare proposition compared to its Turbo- and GT3-badged 911 counterparts.
