Undisguised at Nürburgring
Here are another two photos showing the undisguised new Porsche GT2 during high speed testing at Nürburgring. The car is scheduled for release by the end of this year.
The last generation GT2 was called “the widowmaker”, and the new one could be called “the noisemaker”. Testing in the snow of northern Scandinavia, one can hear the GT2 unmistakeably far from the distance, but for the true car maniac it is rather music to the ears – so it is better be called “the sound machine”.
While the 4WD 997 Turbo delivers 480 bhp, the rear wheel drive GT2 will come up with at least 500 bhp. Weighing some100 to 150kg less than the Turbo, the GT2 promises to become the ultimate driving machine.
