    Description:

    Developed as a homologation model for international GT racing, the GT2 is technically based on the 993 Turbo but was consistently engineered with lightweight construction and maximum performance in mind. According to literature, only 258 examples were produced between 1995 and 1998, including only a very small number of factory-built racing cars.

    This GT2 was sold by Porsche Motorsport to its first owner in November 1996, as documented by the original invoice. Campaigned by Krauss Motorsport, the car competed in the FIA GT Championship and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998 with drivers Bernhard Müller, Michael Trunk and Erich Palmberger. For the 1998 season, the vehicle was factory-upgraded with twin ignition. The car was later acquired by Otto Altenbach, who used it occasionally in various racing series. A few years ago, the Porsche was sold to an enthusiast and collector who commissioned a complete restoration by a Porsche specialist between 2015 and 2017, starting from the bare chassis. The car still retains its original engine and gearbox (matching numbers), both of which were fully rebuilt during the restoration. The costs of the overhaul exceeded €300,000 and are documented with invoices and photographs. The vehicle was refinished in its original colour Grand Prix White and fitted with race livery corresponding to its participation in the 1998 FIA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the very few original Porsche 993 GT2 R factory race cars with documented racing history. Presented today in near-new condition, the car represents a promising investment and the perfect entry ticket to prestigious historic motorsport events such as the Le Mans Classic and the Endurance Racing Legends.

    Engine: Air-cooled twin-turbo 3.6-litre six-cylinder boxer engine, the power output varies from 430 hp to 600 hp, depending on year of manufacture, variant or race regulations
