Chassis No. WP0ZZZ99Z8S794267
Unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 997-generation Porsche 911 GT2 was the most extreme roadgoing 911 yet. Rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual, and extensive weight-saving made it a purist’s machine. Its 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six produced 530 PS and 680 Nm of torque, with 100 km/h arriving from a standstill in 3.7 seconds and a 329-km/h top speed. Period reviewers praised not only its explosive acceleration but also its composure, with razor-sharp steering, unshakable chassis, and devastatingly effective PCCB brakes. Walter Röhrl’s 7:32 Nürburgring lap confirmed its prowess. Weight reduction like deleted rear seats and a titanium exhaust reduced curb weight to 1,430 kg. For maximum focus, the Clubsport package added flame-retardant bucket seats, a rear roll cage, and racing harness. In total, fewer than 1,300 examples were built, cementing the 997.1-era GT2 as one of the rarest and purest modern 911s.
Built as a Swiss-market “C10” example and completed in March of 2008, this Basalt Black Metallic 911 GT2 is one of the rare few specified from the factory with the M003 Clubsport option. Typically, those cars configured for track use are modified and heavily used to their fullest extent fresh out of the box, yet this example is offered with less than 2,000 kilometers and is believed to have never placed a wheel across a start-finish line and in between the Armco barriers. Catalog options include color crested center caps, Chrono Package Plus, cruise control, and more. Additionally, before leaving Zuffenhausen, the car visited the workshops of Porsche Exclusive and was further fitted with five “X-Code” options that included Rear Center Console in Leather (XMZ), Instrument Surround in Leather (XNG), Steering Column in Leather (XNS), Door Finishers in Leather (XTV), and Red Taillights (XXF). Service book stamps reveal the special GT2’s limited use with 311 km two years after delivery, rising to 1,485 km by May 2019, with maintenance performed at Porsche Zentrum Schinznach-Bad.
Today, at the time of cataloging, GT2 Clubsport chassis number 794267 features less than 2,000 km and a bevy of unusual (for a track-oriented 911) options that only serve to increase the collectability of this rare model. While many vintage 911s may be viewed through an anachronistic lens, the 997-generation GT2 offers those interested in today’s limited and special GT models exactly what is so highly coveted today—a manual transmission, twin-turbocharged flat-six with ample power, minimal intervention, and motorsport heritage. Add in low mileage, Swiss ownership, and the rare Clubsport package, this example is sure to be regarded as one of the most desirable and well-preserved 997 GT2s in available today.
