The 993 GT2 is one of the greatest road-going homologation cars of the 90’s. Built to race at Le Mans, this is the first 911 to be fitted with the GT2 badge, and it wears it proudly. The car was offered through special order only and was developed by the motorsports division in Weissach rather than on the production line. There were only 194 GT2’s ever produced by Porsche. It is believed that 57 road-going cars were made, making this a halo car for Porsche and a car we consider to be a top-tier investment.
This GT2 is painted in Guards Red and remains all original. The exterior also features a motorsports-derived widebody kit as well as the additional front and rear aero kit typically seen on the 993 RS. The paint-matched Speedline wheels were also optioned with the car.
This GT2 was supplied new to its first owner in Germany at the Porsche Zentrum Aachen in October 1995. The car spent time in Porsche’s Exclusive department as it was ordered with several individual options such as: XD9 (Painting the wheel spokes in body color - red), X54 (oval stainless steel tailpipes), X70 (stainless steel door entry guards with the model logo), and X71 (aluminum look instruments with chromed rings). The car was ordered from the factory by an older German man who specified a bucket driver’s seat and a sport passenger seat for his wife so that she would ride with him and they could enjoy the car together. This specification is outlined in the Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche as well as the original invoice from Porsche Zentrum Aachen. The car comes complete with a full binder of service records that document not only the cars miles but also the service history of the years. The car was owned by 1 German owner and serviced annually until it traded hands in June 2002 to a French gentleman ~21,000 miles. It then stayed with this 2nd owner until February 2017 when it was brought into the United States. We purchased the car from its third owner, a sophisticated Porsche collector who has maintained the car and most recently did a big service in March 2025.
The motorsport inspiration continues to the cabin and features leather upholstery and lightweight door cards, also found in the 993 and 964 RS. Like the wheels, this car was optioned from the factory with just one bucket seat for the driver and a sport seat for the passenger. The lightweight package on the car includes removing the airbags and power windows.
Both seats are upholstered in black leather with Grey leather inserts and feature paint-matched seat backs. The black leather also extends to the door cards and the three-spoke steering wheel. The door pulls and seatbelts are also red, bringing more of the exterior into the cockpit. Optioned Aluminum gauges from the silver gauges.
Since this was a homologation car, to save weight, they made quite a few changes from the 911 Turbo. The first of the significant changes is the weight savings by several hundred pounds over the 911 turbo. Body panels such as the hood and the doors are made of aluminum and the quarter glass and rear windshield are made with lightweight glass and feature no heating elements or rear wiper blade. The hood is devoid of gas struts, the front trunk consists of no carpet besides the shelf to hide the spare tire and there are no rear seats.
The car comes with two keys, original owners manual, a plethora of German service records dating back to 1995, a certificate of authenticity, and a spare matching bucket seat.
Guards red was not as common of a color to be fitted on the GT2 as silver and white. There were only 21 built in Guards red (which includes three RHD and eight Clubsports), thus one of only ten LHD Strasse’s). This example is the only car built with these Porsche Exclusive options and one of two built with option code XD9 - wheels painted body color (Coppa Florio PTS being the other). This car has the very rare and desirable lightweight spec without airbags and with manual windows. The most notable item about this example is that this GT2 maintains its original paint. This car has had no damage, has never been taken apart, and is well documented. In our experience, original paintwork on a 993 GT2 is hard to come by. For example, if we look at 10 cars, about 2 or 3 have original paint. The reason being is that most of these cars were used for track purposes and lots have been in accidents. We consider this car to be one of the few “pure” GT2s left in existence, and it is very rare for one to come to market, and a great opportunity for a savvy Porsche collector.
