2,200-4,500 rpm, the uber alles 997 GT2 weighs in at just 3,175 lbs –
1.440kg. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual
gearbox. Finally, according to ****sche, the 911 GT2 manages to
accelerate from standstill to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3,5 sec and to
100mph (160 km/h) in 7,4 sec while it reaches a top speed of 204mph
which translates to 328 km/h

More
info on the 911 GT2
0-60 in 3.6 seconds, 100 in 7.4 and a top speed of 204mph. That
betters the Turbo by a few tenths on both counts and 11mph at the top
end.
Weight at 1440kg it is 145kg less than the Turbo, and only 45kg more
than the lightweight GT3. As well as the lack of a front propshaft, a
glass-reinforced plastic engine cover, titanium exhaust system and
standard ****sche Carbon Composite Brakes (PCCB) complete the diet.
The brakes alone are 50 percent lighter than equally-sized steel
discs.
530bhp at 6500rpm (50 ponies), while the 505lb ft is 45lb ft stronger,
and available from 2200-4500rpm.
Oh yes, and helped by ****sche’s new launch control system. Hold down
the clutch and accelerator, wait until the twin turbos reach 13psi of
boost, step off the clutch smartly and the ECU will sort out the rest.
The engine management system makes sure there’s no turbo-lag, no
wheelspin, just relentless acceleration.
With a tried and tested 3.6-litre boxer engine and a few interesting
tweaks. There’s VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) as first seen on the
Turbo. The turbines move to eliminate turbo lag at low revs, whilst
adapting again to provide big power at high revs.
This is all helped by the 'ram effect' created by the air intakes in
the new fixed rear wing, which has an integrated lip spoiler.
Combined with the full bodykit, including a GT3-style air outlet
ahead of the bonnet, it creates positive downforce front and rear.
For this ****sche gets traction control and stability control for the
first time. Luckily, with ****sche Stability Management (PSM) you can
turn off both, and once they’re off, they’re off until you turn them
back on.
However, the car also comes with PASM (****sche Active Suspension
Management) so you can switch between ‘Normal’ for everyday driving,
and ‘S****t’ for some track action.
You can change the ride height, camber, toe angle and anti-roll bar.
Good luck with that.
****sche is claiming major changes to the turbo technology used. With
the expansion intake manifold, the Stuttgart manufacturer believes it
has created a new technology that is radically different to the
existing induction principle for turbocharged engines.
Usually air is compressed to force it into the ignition chamber, but
doing so heats it up resulting in poorer ignition. Now, with longer,
thinner distribution pipes, and shorter intake manifold, air is in
the expanding phase as it reaches the combustion chamber and so it's
cooler. Or so ****sche claims.
And this doesn’t mean less air enters the engine. ****sche has upped
the boost pressure and uprated the intercoolers to compensate.
Ultimately, ****sche says, the driver gets more power, better ignition
and a more efficient engine.
The 911 GT2 is pretty much the same as the GT3 inside, apart from
assorted logos. The Chrono Package Plus is optional and lets you time
your laps, and there is a new ****ft light indicator integrated into
the rev counter. But this is no sop to economy, but rather designed
to make sure you have optimum acceleration.
****sche has confirmed the price and on sale date: £131,070 and
November 2007. Luckily that price includes a ****sche driving course,
so perhaps the GT2 will no longer have the nickname 'the
widow-maker'.
