When you fly on the road on the new Porsche GT2 with a double turbo with a speed of more than 280 km/h, the word “anxiety” acquires a new meaning. The field of view narrows, the eyes peer more carefully, because what was a moment a moment ago “in front” will now be in front of the car. A small bend on the road at a speed of 75 km/h, at 175 it becomes a sharp turn, and the slightest uneven road turns into a serious pothole. Brake characteristics and lateral reactions can only be described by enthusiastic epithets. Moreover, 280 km/h is not the maximum speed, the maximum is 35 km more. Porsche on the 996 Turbo platform is one of the most favorite sports cars. But there is no limit of perfection in our dreams: I want the car to be easier, the engine roared louder, the suspension is harder, the reaction is faster and the engine crankcase. All this is in the GT2 model.The car has on the one hand a simple, and on the other, a high -tech design, when developing which a goal was set to reduce the mass, increase power, improve operational characteristics. Power 425 l. With. With the help of modified turbochargers and new intercouler, increased to 462 liters. With. At 5700 rpm. The working volume of the engine at the same time remained unchanged 3.6 liters. The system for changing the phase of the gas distribution and the rise of the final valves of the Turbo Variocam Plus, saved. The exhaust system is arranged in such a way as to reduce the anti -pressure and increase the “noise” effect. There is no all -wheel drive to GT2. This made it possible not only to reduce the weight of the car, but also made it possible for the driver to cope with control with an insufficient or excess reaction of the car to rotate the steering wheel. The semi -automatic transmission system is not there. Although some may need something more than a standard six -speed gearbox with a mechanism that works 20% faster. There is also no Porsche stabilization system, which means that all the responsibility for the rather complicated control of the car lies with the driver.
