The Porsche 911 GT2 is the most extreme road-going 911 ever produced. Since 1995 Porsche has supplied the GT2 as the homologation version of its GT race cars: twin-turbo Mezger or modern engines, rear-wheel drive (no four-wheel drive as on the Turbo), stripped specification, and typically no electronic driving aids in the original specifications. From the rare 993 GT2 with only 57 road examples to the 991 GT2 RS with 700 hp and a Nürburgring record: every GT2 is a collector specification. A 911 GT2 is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the racing lineage and respects the danger category of a rear-wheel-drive twin-turbo 911.
The Porsche 993 GT2 was unveiled in 1995 as the homologation specification for GT race cars in the FIA GT and BPR Global GT championships. The car was a stripped, rear-wheel-drive version of the 993 Turbo, with modified twin-turbo Mezger engine, carbon doors and bonnet, wider track, and no electronic driving aids. The 993 GT2 initially produced 430 hp from 3.6 litres; later this was uprated to 450 hp. Only 57 road examples were built for homologation, alongside additional racing specifications. For collectors, an original 993 GT2 in factory specification with matching numbers and Porsche Classic confirmation is among the most expensive classic 911s; auctions at Pebble Beach, Goodwood, and RM Sotheby's have seen top examples break the three-million-euro mark.
The 996 GT2 (2001-2005) produced 462 hp from a further-developed twin-turbo Mezger and was the first GT2 delivered in series production. Like its predecessor, it had no traction control or ESC, and no four-wheel drive. The 997 GT2 (2007-2010) produced 530 hp from a 3.6-litre Mezger with variable-geometry turbos, and was again RWD. The 997 GT2 RS (2010-2011, 500 built) was the definitive specification: 620 hp from the same engine, weight saving of roughly 70 kg, more extensive carbon packs, and a factory Manthey suspension package. The 997 GT2 RS was at its launch the fastest 911 ever built and remains one of the most valuable modern 911 GT2 specifications.
After an initial absence on the 991 generation, the 991 GT2 RS was unveiled in 2017. The car produced 700 hp from a 3.8-litre twin-turbo engine (derived from the 991 Turbo S but modified), with PDK as the only gearbox. The 991 GT2 RS was at its launch the fastest road 911 ever built and in 2017 set a Nürburgring record of 6:47.3, at the time the fastest time for a road-going RWD car. The optional Weissach package reduced weight further by 30 kg through a magnesium roof, carbon anti-roll bars, and a specific factory-installed graphic stripe. Later Manthey-Werks performance packages (a collaboration with Porsche) raised performance further. For collectors a 991 GT2 RS with Weissach or Manthey package in factory colour is among the most valuable modern 911s.
The 911 GT2 has always been the most demanding road 911. Twin-turbo, rear-wheel drive, often without electronic driving aids (particularly on the 993, 996, and 997 GT2): the combination demands experience and respect. The 'widow maker' reputation of the 930 Turbo is carried forward by many to the GT2 line, particularly because the GT2 retains rear-wheel drive while the Turbo received permanent four-wheel drive. For experienced drivers this is precisely the appeal: a 911 that communicates entirely mechanically, without traction control intervention. For collectors the GT2 represents the purest expression of Porsche racing culture on the public road.
The 911 GT2 line operates in one of the highest price segments within the modern 911 market. The 993 GT2 (57 road examples) and the 991 GT2 RS Weissach have shown consistently rising values since 2018, often far above the original list price. The 997 GT2 RS (500 built) follows a comparable curve. For the 996 and 997 GT2 (without RS designation) the market is somewhat more accessible, but still in its own segment. For sellers this means a well-documented GT2 with proven service history, original specification, and (for RS specifications) factory package confirmation attracts strong international interest. The buyer you want is an enthusiast who knows the racing lineage and values the specific GT2 culture.
993 GT2 (1995-1998, ~57 road examples), 996 GT2 (2001-2005), 997 GT2 (2007-2010), 997 GT2 RS (2010-2011, 500 built), 991 GT2 RS (2017-2019). Each generation is a separate collector specification; the 993 GT2 and the two RS specifications represent the highest tiers.
For the 993 GT2: GT2 White, Speed Yellow, Polar Silver, Mexico Blue. For modern GT2 RS: factory PTS colours, factory-installed stripes, factory Weissach or Manthey packages. Original factory order configuration strongly drives price for collectors and confirms the exact specification.
For all GT2 specifications this document is decisive. It confirms factory specification, colour, factory-installed options, and optional factory packages such as Weissach (on the 991 GT2 RS) or Manthey-Werks (in collaboration with Porsche). Apply via a Porsche dealer or Porsche Classic in Stuttgart.
GT2 service requires specialist knowledge: twin-turbo Mezger or MA1.75 engine, cooling system, brake condition, head gaskets. For the 993 and modern GT2 RS specifications, service at Porsche or a recognised GT specialist (Manthey, Cargraphic) is crucial.
Photos of the VIN plate and engine block number side by side. For the 993 GT2 (57 road examples) and modern RS specifications, a Porsche Classic confirmation of matching numbers and factory specification is essentially mandatory for top valuation.
For the 993 GT2: low mileage and proven undamaged bodywork. For modern GT2 RS: mileage, trackday participation (date, location, post-session service), presence of factory Manthey or Weissach package. Original condition is highly valued by collectors.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
Model year, generation (993, 996, 997, 997 RS, 991 RS), engine code (Mezger or MA1.75), gearbox (manual on 993/996/997, PDK on 991), any Weissach or Manthey package. Precise identification is essential.
Essentially mandatory for all GT2 specifications. Apply via a Porsche dealer or Porsche Classic in Stuttgart based on the VIN. The document confirms factory specification, colour, factory-installed options, and optional factory packages such as Weissach or Manthey.
For the 993 GT2 and Mezger models (996, 997, 997 RS): timing chains, head gaskets, cooling system, turbo condition. For the 991 GT2 RS: turbo status and factory software updates. Service at Porsche or a recognised GT specialist (Manthey, Cargraphic) is essential.
Photos of the VIN plate and engine block number side by side. For the 993 GT2 (57 road examples) a Porsche Classic confirmation is absolutely mandatory. For the 997 GT2 RS (500 built) and 991 GT2 RS (multiple factory packages) the document confirms the exact specification.
Paint colour with factory code, Paint-to-Sample confirmation if applicable, factory carbon packs, Centre Lock wheels, factory aerokit, factory Weissach or Manthey package. Original factory order configuration or build sheet reinforces value.
Number of previous owners, mileage, any trackday participation (date, location, post-session service), any damage history or bodywork repair. For the 993 GT2 and modern RS specifications, original condition and low mileage are typically strongly value-driving.
For collector-oriented sales, factory specification is highly valued. Document all modifications clearly; keep original parts for possible refitting. For the 991 GT2 RS with Manthey package: document whether it is a factory-installed or later installation.
