Porsche GT2

It doesn't get any nastier Porsche than this right now, if you're going to buy a new one, that is. The Porsche GT2 is the worst of all the Porsche models and you can feel it immediately when you see it. Our test text is also black, the whole car radiates such incredible power!

The Porsche GT2 is equipped with the classic boxer six of 3.6 liters. With twin turbos in the GT2 and with 530 horses and a twist of a whopping 680 newtons, this pushes the car to the 100 mark in just 3.6 seconds, 200 is already completed 7.6 seconds later. During the week I had GT2 at my disposal, I often amused myself to my friends' utter abject almost panicked laughter when pulling away from a standstill. I couldn't really understand what made people even in some cases ask me to slow down, editor Glaad for example. It was only when I rode with Jocke Qvarnström that I myself had to figure out what was going on in the passenger seat... Jeez, I'm just saying, it's a real roller coaster you're sitting on, your stomach rolls and tingles and you frantically grope for something to hold get in, absolutely insane! That you don't feel this yourself as a driver is incredible. 

To stop this insane power, Porsche has fitted ceramic brakes as standard with their characteristic yellow calipers. You can tell the difference between standard or ceramic brakes on a Porsche by the fact that standard has red yokes and ceramic yellow. Choosing yellow means raising the price of your Porsche by the same amount as a smaller car costs. But in GT2 it is included.
