2002 PORSCHE 911

Few modern performance cars command the respect of the Porsche 996 GT2. Developed from Porsche's GT racing programme rather than its mainstream production line, the GT2 represented the ultimate expression of the 996-generation 911. By combining the legendary Mezger-derived twin-turbocharged flat-six with rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual gearbox and the complete absence of stability control, Porsche created one of the most focused, rewarding and demanding road cars of the modern era.

Presented here is an exceptional 2002 Porsche 996 GT2 showing just 9,300 miles from new. A collector-grade example, this GT2 has clearly benefited from meticulous ownership throughout its life and is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, making it an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire one of Porsche's defining analogue supercars.

Producing 456bhp from its 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, the GT2 was the fastest production Porsche available at the time of its launch. Unlike the four-wheel-drive 911 Turbo on which it was based, the GT2 sends all of its power exclusively to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, creating a driving experience that remains raw, mechanical and hugely rewarding. It is this uncompromising character that earned the model its now legendary ''Widowmaker'' nickname, cementing its place amongst the most revered driver's cars ever produced by Stuttgart.

The significance of the 996 GT2 extends far beyond its performance figures. As the first water-cooled GT2 and one of the earliest products of Porsche's dedicated GT division, it represents a pivotal chapter in the evolution of the modern 911. While the GT3 RS lineage has become one of the most celebrated performance car success stories of the last two decades, the GT2 has quietly established itself as the halo model of the erararer, more powerful and produced with a singular focus on ultimate driver engagement.

As collectors increasingly seek analogue, manual performance cars with genuine motorsport pedigree, demand for exceptional 996 GT2s continues to strengthen. Low-mileage, unmodified examples such as this seldom become available, particularly with such impressive provenance and condition.

Offered with a fresh MOT valid until May 2027, this outstanding example represents an opportunity to acquire one of the most significant modern Porsches ever built. Whether viewed as a collector's asset, an engineering masterpiece or simply one of the greatest analogue driving experiences of the last 25 years, the 996 GT2 remains every bit deserving of its legendary status.
