The 911 GT2
Drive is transmitted through a pre-
cision six-speed manual gearbox.
Rear-wheel drive provides driving
dynamics that are similar to those
of a racing car. In the 911 GT2,
Porsche also uses a special system
for conventional manual transmis-
sion: the Launch Assistant (see
page 38) – for maximum accelera-
tion from a standing start.
For a sporty but still comfortable
drive, particularly for this type of
sportscar, the standard suspension
features variable damping providedby Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM, see page 48).
This active damping system offers
a wide range of benefits including
greater performance and comfort.
Also standard is Porsche Stability
Management (PSM, see page 50).
For the first time, the integrated
control systems for lateral and lon-
gitudinal dynamics, stability control
(SC) and traction control (TC) can
be fully disabled in two stages for a
more natural drive. This means thecar can also be enjoyed to maxi-
mum effect on the racetrack.
The one-piece 19-inch GT2 alloy
wheels of the 911 GT2 are fitted
with road-legal sports tyres as
standard. In size 325/30 ZR 19 on
the rear, these are 20 mm larger
than on the 911 Turbo. The special
tread and compound enable
tremendous lateral acceleration
and higher cornering speeds as
well as precision handling and
turn-in characteristics on either
road or racetrack. A range ofsetup options is available for
racing use, including ride height,
camber, toe angle and front/rear
anti-roll bars.
Developed in motorsport, and
standard on the 911 GT2 is the
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, see page 58).
The discs are made from specially
treated carbon fibre and are
approximately 50 % lighter than
comparable metal alternatives.
The results: better brake perfor-mance, greater agility and lower
fuel consumption.
Sports bucket seats (see page 72)
with folding backrest, integral
thorax airbag and manual fore/aft
adjustment, are fitted as standard.
A perfect driving position is essen-
tial in a car with the performance
potential of the 911 GT2. The latest
Porsche Communication Manage-
ment (PCM, see page 76) is also
fitted as standard. This features
a new 6.5-inch touchscreen for
intuitive control.We believe that you don’t have
to exploit the full potential of
the 911 GT2. But you may well
choose to.
