2009-porsche-911-gt2.jpgThe 2009 Porsche 911 GT2 is Porsche’s racer. That’ not to say that Porsches other 911 models aren’t capable track cars, but the GT2 is traditionally the most track tuned yet still road friendly of the collection.

The GT2 weighs in at a substantial 3858 lb. This is heavier than other 911 versions, so the GT2 needs an engine upgrade to keep it in contention with the lighter models. Enter, the 3.6 liter, 6 Cylinder, 530 hp monstrosity beating at the heart of the GT2. This formidable engine gives the GT2 more than enough kick to get its bulk and driver from 0 ñ 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and it’ll hit 200 mph when factory fresh.

With that kind of power you need some serious help with handling, and the GT2 doesn’t disappoint. Porsche branded ceramic breaking, traction control systems, 4-wheel antilock brakes and tire pressure monitors help keep cornering tight and responsive.

Overall the 2009 Porsche 911 GT2 is a fearsome machine, designed to be capable of unparalleled performance in both road and track driving. Luxury fixtures and fittings are notably absent, as are the ultra high quality finishes found of some of Porsches other 911 variants -but who needs GPS and Bluetooth when you are driving a GT2?
