The Porsche 911 GT2 lineage began with the 993 generation in 1993. Initially built to meet homologation requirements for GT2 class racing, the road cars were named accordingly (though badged as the 911 GT). The 993 GT2 featured widened plastic fenders, a larger rear wing with air scoops for improved engine cooling, and a 3.6 L twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. Over time, its power output increased from 316 kW (430 PS; 424 hp) to 331 kW (450 PS; 444 hp). Only 57 road cars were produced. The 996 generation GT2 (2001–2005) was developed primarily as a road car. It featured a twin-turbocharged version of the GT3’s 3.6 L flat-six engine, producing up to 355 kW (483 PS; 476 hp). Aggressive aerodynamics and a limited-slip rear differential aided traction, making it a formidable performer on both track and road.

Just an observation. The certificate states “Carrera RS”which makes more sense. The GT2 has noticeable fender flares and a different wing. Otherwise beautiful painting. GLWA
Hello gentlemen, thank you so much for visiting my auction! This piece was a collaboration with the Pcar staff who not only selected the image but also made corrections so as to deliver technical accuracy. I also used acrylic markers on this piece which I really enjoy using, this process is shown in the second video. Currently this is a single edition piece and prints will be available on my website after the auction. My current work can be viewed on Instagram at greg.stirling. Shipping packaging and handling is $235 or the piece can be picked up in person in San Jose California. If the winning bid goes over $1500 there will be no charge for shipping handling. Thank you! Good luck and happy bidding! Greg Stirling
