got all the info from this guy D55L on TS - 2012 GT2 pics & info

 

"Expect the 0-62 mph time to drop from the current car’s 3.7 seconds and top speed also to push past the 205 mph mark."

 

Looks good. I just hope it doesn't get any bigger.

 

I wish they would put a clear 3rd tail light in.

 

3.7 ??
i believe it'll do better than 3.7 ...
now im curious will it have 3.6ltr engine or a 3.8 ?

 

3.6 !!!!!

 

Looks so much different from the old one!

 

I really like that rear - looks aggressive

 

I read someplace that the next GT2 was being developed by Porsche Motorsports division and wouldn't be using the 997.2 as a basis. It was going to be more like the GT3 RS in design and execution. If I remember correctly it would be 2012 model, meaning middle to late 2011 release.

<!-- google_ad_section_start --> Spies in Germany have captured pictures of the elusive 2012 Porsche 911 GT2 facelift. The facelifted model is expected to debut next year, and will likely remain in production for about a year leading up to the release of the Porsche 991.

Alongside modest changes to the car's exterior, the GT2 is expected to get a direct injection engine boosting power to 550 PS (405 kW). That is 3.5% more than the 997.5 Turbo S with 530 PS (390 kW). By comparison, the Lexus LFA produces 552 hp (412 kW). The GT2 could potentially have a 0-100 km/h sprint of 3.2 seconds, en route to a 205 mph (330 km/h) top speed.

A new bumper will be seen on the upcoming model, possibly including changes to the front splitter as well. Possible updates to the sidesills will lead to a refined bumper with new tailpipes. We wouldn't be surprised to see a few new options added to the catalogue for the GT2.








in this pic u can see that it'll have the center lock ...

different lip ...

 

Any word on the transmission yet? I sure as hell hope that the 6MT option will be alive and well on the new GT2!

 

im very sure there will be no PDK option

 

So this will likely be the last of the 997s I imagine...? So the the 998s will start showing up as '13 models?

 

looks the same to me
