Porsche 911 gt2
The Porsche Development Center in Weissach has
been perfecting the very best in sports car engineering since 30
years.
Today, that continuous process of evolution has culminated in the
new 911 GT2. A remarkable example of how Porsche motorsport technology
can be adapted for the road. And the ultimate embodiment of the
Porsche 911.
The new 911 GT2 engine is an evolution of the race-proven
unit that powered the 911 GT1 to a famous one-two at Le Mans in
1998. The water-cooled, twin-turbo flat six develops 340 kW (462
bhp) from a displacement of 3,600 cm3, as well as maximum torque
of 620 Nm from 3,500 to 4,500 rpm. In addition to optimized cylinder
charging, the engine is characterized by its outstanding balance
and refinement.
The light-alloy crankcase is split vertically with the crankshaft
running in eight main bearings. The crankshaft is linked to the
light-alloy pistons via forged connecting rods. This configuration
reduces the weight of the moving masses within the engine to produce
an eager throttle response. The light-alloy pistons reciprocate
in Nikasil-coated, light-alloy bores designed to reduce friction
and thus increase longevity.
