Why it matters
The 993 GT2 was built to homologate the 911 for FIA GT2 racing and became the original 'Widowmaker'. Rear-wheel drive with twin-turbo power, it is one of the rarest air-cooled 911s, with 194 road-legal examples.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionroad-legal examples (initial homologation run of 57) | 1941 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Porsche took the twin-turbocharged engine of the four-wheel-drive 993 Turbo, raised its output to 430 bhp and removed drive to the front wheels. The factory cut away the steel wings to fit wider wheels and added bolt-on composite arch extensions with exposed fasteners. An initial homologation run of 57 is often cited, but demand led to 194 road cars in total.
