Porsche 996 GT2

The vehicle in detail

“A hardcore 911 Turbo. Under fire for its overly civilized modern fleet, Porsche produces a politically incorrect screamer that requires the driver to drive it—all of it.” “Less weight, more power, improved aerodynamics, suspension, braking, handling… the list goes on for this bare bones luxurious supercar that begs to be driven.” – Car and Driver

The Gen II 996 GT2

The 2004-2005 996 GT2 often referred to as the “Gen II” featured a the M96/70SL engine which increased horsepower from 462 to 483. A 21hp upgraded which launched the GT from 0-to-62 miles per hour in just 4 seconds! Additonal upgrades included Ceramic Composite Brakes, GT3 18” wheels, as well as upgraded chassis and suspension. Few were produced making these one of the most collectible GT2 variants.

WP0AB29994S696069 was completed on January 16, 2004 in the ultra-rare Guards Red (G1) over Black Leather (76) livery, with the addition of Black Mats with Porsche Lettering, Stainless Steel Exhaust Pipes and Michelin Tires, over the abundance of performance and luxurious equipment the GT2’s came standard with, and an original MSRP of $194,645.

This impeccably presented original example of the famed 996 GT2 displays just 5,715 miles driven since new, in stock configuration, draped in original factory applied paint (as confirmed by meter readings), as well as original glass, trim, and equipment. The cabin presents as original with delicately preserved surfaces and working electronics. Its stunning cosmetic condition is supported by all matching original books, cards and pamphlets in folio, dealer books-brochures-and media information kit, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, along with clean Carfax and AutoCheck reports. Emergency accessories located in the front luggage compartment, such as the tools, unwrapped gloves, first aid kit, tire sealant, wheel locks, and air compressor appear as new and unused. Both indoor and outdoor fitted car covers accompany. A protective clear bra has been fitted to the nose, complemented by factory GT2 specific equipment, such as the 18” wheels, PCCB: Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, and factory race bred suspension.

As a testament to the GT2’s condition and originality, the car was awarded the winner of the Chicago Region 2014 Concours Championship (considered the most challenging concours region in PCA to win), as well as an impressive 299.4 points out of 300 at the 2015 Porsche Parade (higher than any other vehicle of that Parade). The 911 remains in excellent condition, having been properly stored and upkept, with limited road use. A bound dossier included with the Porsche contains model and specific vehicle facts, records, DME report, clean CarFax and AutoCheck reports.
