The model car shown here is based on a modified Porsche GT Street TechArt. The Porsche 911 GT2 of the Generation 993, built from 1993 to 1998, is famous for its cutting-edge technology and uncompromising performance. The 911 GT2 was originally developed to meet the requirements of the FIA GT2 class. The design and engineering of the vehicle bear the signature of Porsche engineers led by Norbert Singer and Roland Kussmaul. Originally conceived as a lightweight and high-performance racing car, the 911 GT2 featured a 3.6-liter twin-turbo engine producing up to 450 horsepower and reaching a top speed of over 300 km/h (186 mph).
The Porsche 993 GT2, based on the Generation 993, is considered one of the most thrilling and powerful sports cars of its time. It featured an air-cooled system exclusive to the 993 GT2 until the introduction of the water-cooled system in the later 996 generation. The determined design language with wide fenders, a large rear wing, and an aggressive front end made the 993 GT2 iconic. Additional technical details included improved brakes, a stiffer suspension, and extra lightweight components to reduce weight and maximize performance. TechArt, a renowned German tuning specialist, transformed the original 911 GT2 into a masterpiece of engineering by integrating aerodynamic components and additional power enhancements. TechArt was founded in 1987 and is known for its refined Porsche vehicles.
