The restyled third-generation Porsche 911 GT2 is the hardest-edged version of its era: a rear-drive turbocharged coupe built around driver involvement, with stiffer suspension, serious brakes and noticeably less weight than the all-wheel-drive Turbo it shares parts with.
The Porsche 911 GT2 engine in examples such as the 3.6 MT Coupe is a turbocharged gasoline flat-six sending drive only to the rear wheels. A manual transmission keeps the driver in charge of the boost, and that rear-drive layout rewards smooth throttle work rather than sudden inputs.
