Porsche GT2 Driving Experience

Product Description

Say hello to the Porsche GT2. This is the car some say Porsche should never have built. Not because it's not very nice looking or technically deficient in any way but because many say it's just too hot to handle both on & off the track. So you will need courage & driver skill if you're going to get the best out of this Porsche GT2 experience! You will be driving a 996 generation Porsche 911 GT2. Produced by Porsche to be a race-ready GT car that could be bought off the shelf this is a 996 that has been given a serious makeover. For starters the usual Porsche all wheel drive has gone. That means the GT2 is lighter (and therefore faster) & it also means it's rear wheel drive which is a whole different ball game when it comes to handling. Add to that a twin turbocharged 3.6l engine with those upgraded brakes suspension air intakes & huge rear wheel spoiler & the GT2 is the angry cousin of the 996. Even the nose has been more aggressively styled aiding the drag coefficient & reflecting the extra 'bite' this car has at the same time. & it can be seriously snappy. With the only driver aid you get being ABS taking this rear wheel drive beast out on the track will be the scariest yet most thrilling drive you've had. No wonder they nicknamed the Porsche GT2 the widowmaker. This is the car where you are traction control
- there's nothing else to help you tame this car! Slide into the body-hugging seats & you'll feel nicely cocooned. The driving position is ergonomically engaging as you'd expect from Porsche. Look at the dashboard & you'll see it's the rev counter that is the largest most dominantly-placed dial right in front of you. We think that says something about what driving a Porsche GT2 is all about. After sighting laps in a performance car with an instructor driving you get 4 or 8 laps in the superlative Porsche GT2 around the circuit where this car performs at its best. Let's see if you can turn the widow maker into the pure unadulterated smile maker out there.
