A Homologation Masterpiece Goes to Auction.
One of only 126 left-hand drive units produced for the year 1996, this 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 stands out not just for its rarity but also for its pristine condition and powerful performance capabilities. Headed to auction with Broad Arrow at their upcoming Air|Water event, this particular GT2 is a gem among classic sports cars, expected to fetch between $1,700,000 and $2,000,000 due to its exceptional pedigree and meticulous care over the years.
This Porsche 911 GT2, chassis number WP0ZZZ99ZTS392104, hails originally from the German market and comes with a mere 29,650 kilometers (approximately 18,424 miles) on its odometer. It boasts a stunning Grand Prix White exterior—a shade uniquely offered in its final year—paired with a black leather interior featuring dark grey seat inlays. As a homologation model, known technically as the M002 Strassenversion, this car was designed to bring racing technology to the road. It features a potent 430 horsepower twin-turbo flat-six “M64/60R” engine that promises thrilling performance, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in just about four seconds.
The GT2 model was developed as a response to racing series' bans on four-wheel drive systems, making it lighter and faster than its Turbo counterparts by incorporating aluminum hoods, door skins, and removing front wheel drive components. This GT2 not only showcases the height of Porsche’s air-cooled turbocharged engineering but also includes bespoke elements like a three-piece magnesium Speedline wheels and a distinct aesthetic with cutaway fenders and bolt-on flares.
Included with the sale are the car’s manuals, a rare 911 GT2 supplement, and its original toolkit, underscoring the car’s well-documented history and meticulous upkeep. Previously registered in Vancouver, BC, and more recently Miami, FL, this GT2 has been maintained in impeccable condition, making it a highly desirable collectible for serious enthusiasts and collectors. As Porsche 911 GT2s seldom come up for public sale, this auction presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Porsche’s illustrious sports car legacy.
