With an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/h (186 mph), the 993 GT2 was a highlight of its time.

This engineering allowed the vehicle to deliver exceptional performance, both on the road and on the racetrack. Noteworthy is also its application in motorsport, where the 993 GT2 played a significant role in various series. Other remarkable features include the adjustable aerodynamic elements and the differentiated limited-slip differential, both contributing to improved traction and handling.
