2002 Porsche GT2 engine is based on the race-proven GT1 unit used in the historic 50th anniversary one-two at Le Mans. The water-cooled, twin-turbo flat six develops 340 kW (462 bhp) from a displacement of 3,600 cm3, with
maximum torque of 620 Nm available between 3,500 and 4,500 rpm. In addition to optimised cylinder charging, the new 911 GT2 engine offers outstanding balance and refinement
Another key engine feature is VarioCam Plus, the latest evolution of the Porsche variable valve control system, which now also includes variable valve lift on the inlet side. As a result, the new 911 GT2 delivers maximum power
and torque over much of the engine range, while offering a significant improvement in fuel economy. Dry sump lubrication ensures a reliable supply of oil to the engine - even under the extreme loads encountered during
cornering, acceleration and braking on the track. The electronic engine management system has also been improved to guarantee optimum engine performance in all driving conditions
Power is fed through a six-speed manual
gearbox, with each individual ratio carefully selected to provide strong, seamless acceleration through the gears. The race-proven cable-operated gearshift mechanism guarantees smooth, precision gear changes while eliminating
vibration from the engine and gearbox.
