Porsche 911 (996) GT2 in World

Post by Hydro_PT »

The Porsche 911 GT2 is known by fans as the high performance version of the Porsche 911 Turbo. Despite being based on this car, the GT2 features numerous upgrades, including engine upgrades, larger brakes, stiffer suspension, rear-wheel drive, and less weight due to the removal of certain interior components.

Now, Need For Speed: World players can get their hands on the Tier 3 Porsche 911 (996) GT2, which was launched in 1999 to replace the ageing 993 GT2. This new GT2 featured a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter H6 engine that provided an output of 483 hp @5700 rpm. A 6-speed manual transmission, top speed of 319 km/h and 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds make the 996 GT2 a beast to behold. To be able to achieve this the body differed significantly from other 996 Porsches: major differences included wider fenders, a more aggressively shaped nose, and a large rear wing. If you a are a Porsche fan you definitely have to spend 5000 Speedboost and get this race-breed sports car!

I honestly don't like the 996 GT2, it is too ugly. Looks like a project for a future Porsche, instead of being a real Porsche. The 993 looks much better, it resembles the old 911 Turbo or RS. I don't drive one since Porsche Unleashed, but in The Run EA decided to give the 993 a shot, and they did well! :D

I won't buy this one. As for the 997 GT2... it isn't bad, but not my thing either.
