Introduced in 1995, the 993 GT2 was developed to satisfy FIA GT2-class homologation requirements. Though based on the 993 Turbo, it was comprehensively reengineered for competition, including a conversion to rear-wheel drive following the FIA’s ban on all-wheel-drive systems in GT racing.
To reduce weight, Porsche eliminated the front differential, driveshafts, rear seats, power-adjustable front seats, and other comfort features, while additional savings came from lightweight aluminum panels and thinner glass – trimming nearly 500 pounds from the Turbo’s curb weight, for a total of just 2,855 pounds. Bolt-on fiberglass fender flares accommodated wider 18″ Speedline wheels, while a deeper front spoiler and fixed rear wing with integrated air ducts provided added downforce and cooling. The chassis received firmer suspension settings, stiffer anti-roll bars, and larger brakes, while ride height was lowered by 20 mm.
At the heart of the GT2 was the M64/60R, a 3.6-liter flat-six equipped with twin-intercooled KKK turbochargers. The Strassenversion (Street Version) was conservatively rated at 430 hp and 457 lbs./ft. of torque, with later examples reportedly developing 450 hp. Power was routed through a reinforced six-speed manual transaxle and an asymmetrical 40/60 limited-slip differential; 0–60 mph transpired in approximately 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 184 mph.
Between 1995 and 1998, Porsche built 194 examples of the 993 GT2 Strassenversion. Of these, just 33 were ordered with the track-focused Clubsport package, denoted by option code M003.
Oriented for track use, the GT2 Clubsport featured factory modifications in line with its racing counterparts and competition-grade modifications, including a welded Matter roll cage, stripped interior with exposed painted metal, and fixed-back Nomex-lined bucket seats with six-point harnesses. Additional equipment included a fire extinguisher system, battery cut-off switch, and a motorsport-specification clutch with torsional spring dampers in place of the standard dual-mass flywheel.
Completed by the factory on January 10, 1996, this left-hand-drive 993 GT2 Clubsport is believed to be the sole example finished in special-order Blutorange (Blood Orange), a sought-after Porsche “Skittles” color from the 1960s and 1970s. This specification is corroborated by the definitive tome on the model, 911 GT2, authored by Christoph Mäder and noted Porsche collector Jan Koum. Additional equipment included seat covers in cloth, a stronger battery, reduced radio preparation, deleted airbags, and air-conditioning.
Delivered directly from the factory to its first owner, Gernot Haverkamp of Delmenhorst, Germany, this GT2 Clubsport remained in his care for nearly four years. In June 2000, the car was sold to Jan Henrik Lussen of Bremen, Germany, who added almost 20,000 km over the next five years, maintaining it with specialists Sportwagenservice and JH Fahrzeugtechnik.
Exported to the UK in late 2005, it was purchased by Victor Cohen with just over 31,000 km recorded. Registered for road use in January 2006, Cohen added approximately 17,000 km and continued to maintain the car to a very high standard, as evidenced by service records and invoices on file.
Circa 2011, Mr. E. Boehm in London acquired the car, adding minimal mileage while continuing its upkeep. In 2013, with approximately 49,000 km, it was purchased by noted racer and collector François Perrodo. Under his care, the car was regularly maintained by specialists, including Heritage Autowerks in the UK and Garage Milliancourt in France. An extensive service carried out by Garage Milliancourt in November 2022 included engine and gearbox oil changes, new filters and spark plugs, replacement of the clutch, slave cylinder, flywheel, and a full geometry setup, as supported by detailed service documentation.
In 2023, this 993 GT2 Clubsport was imported into the US by its current custodian, a successful entrepreneur and accomplished gentleman racer known for strong performances at endurance events, including Le Mans and Sebring.
Offered with its original books and an extensive file of supporting documentation, this well-presented Clubsport showed 54,914 km (34,121 miles) at cataloguing and reflects conscientious long-term care, as evidenced by its accompanying stamped Porsche service book noting consistent mileage progression.
The only example delivered in vibrant Blutorange, this 993 GT2 Clubsport represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most focused, exclusive, and collectible homologation specials of the air-cooled era – driven and maintained as intended by knowledgeable enthusiasts, and ready to be used and enjoyed by its next custodian in the spirit for which it was built.
