Porsche has for a long time been a top performance car brand, yielding some of the most excitingly superior experiences of a real race car on public roads. The company Porsche was first created when Ferry Porsche decided to make his own car due to the lack of cars he was willing to buy. He created what is considered to be the first Porsche, the 356. The 356 was mostly noted because of its distinctive smooth low body-work, the entirely designed Porsche engine and none other than its exceptional balance for that time. After proving its success in the automotive industry (both on public roads and tracks)in 1964 , Porsche launched a new series known as the “911″. This was to be the name of some of the fastest production cars in the world. At the peak of the “911″ series is the dreadfully astounding Porsche 911 GT2. This work of art begins $191,700, leaving it well beyond the almost all other Porsche’s. This time Porsche was truly determined to create a mind blowing on the road experience. To achieve this “mind blowing experience” Porsche has equipped the GT2 with a 3.2 liter, twin-turbo V6 Boxter engine creating an astounding 530 hp at 6,500 rpm with 680 Nm of torque. These 530 hp can take the car to a regular sprint of 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h in a mere 11.2 seconds. At the top speed the GT2 is traveling at an incredible 328 km/h. Porsche has managed to achieve this extreme performance thanks to introduction of a revolutionized turbo charger known as the Variable Turbine Geometry. The VTG uses a revolutionized technique. It poses “electronically adjustable guide vanes” which are used to channel the air into the turbine at different angles. When the angles are altered the speed of the gas flowing into the turbine is also changed meaning that the pressure changes with the speed. Each speed range requires a different level of pressure for optimal performance, so when you are able to change this pressure accordingly to your current speed the turbo charger produces lower fuel consumption, greater torque and shocking engine efficiency. Even with this new technological superior turbo charger the GT2 uses very light weight materials such as titanium and other heat resistant light weigh alloys.Inside the Porsche 911 GT2 you come into an an area where its purpose is immediately identified, the fusion of racing and comfort. The GT2 poses to leather covered seats, each designed with racing kept in mind. The seats poses advanced lateral supports to maintain comfort and control in daring closed curves. The seats also contain side airbags for further protection. The seats are made out of carbon fiber to keep in mind weight reduction while maintaining excellent rigidity at the same time. The GT2 is equipped with an advanced entertainment system featuring GPS, CD player, radio, a telephone module and 9 state of the art BOSE speakers creating a sound perfectly engineered for the interior of your car. We can see that the Porsche 911 GT2 is really an amazing machine but however there is still one aspects that without a doubt puts the car at the top of the spectrum. The engineers at Porsche worked hard to make this car much more eco-friendly. The new GT2 uses advanced sensors to maintain its emissions well in today’s standards. The GT2 meets the terms of the EU4 and LEV2 regulations making it quite clean compared to other cars. The GT2 can also use gasoline up to 10% biofuel or ethanol reducing the CO2 exhausts. The car also is built entirely out-off eco-friendly material (like the paint being water based) with over 85% capable of being recycled. The new Porsche 911 GT2 clearly marks the peak of the Porsche’s 911 spectrum in all possible aspects, making the car a bridge into the next era of automotive technology.
