2008 Porsche GT2 Photos and Specs Leaked...It Has 530HP and it Reaches 0-60 in 3.6 Secs!

Spy photos of the upcoming Porsche GT2 have been surfacing for quite a while now. Well now we now know what the 2008 GT2 will look like and what kind of power it is going to have.

Porsche's newest 911 variant is gaining so much interest because it is going to have the same 3.6L flat-six as the turbo, but all of the power will be directed to only the rear wheels.

Thanks to one car/ tech geek, we now have the full specs and photos from a brochure that he scanned.

The new GT2 is going to produce 530HP at 6,500 RPM and 505 lb-ft. of torque. The car will have a six-speed manual and will be capable of reaching 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds, 100 mph in 7.1 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph.

German RICEROCKET Alert!

Fins, exhaust, rear spoiler, yellow brakes, and carbon fiber engine cover = R-I-C-E!

Fins = To aid with Cooling of various Radiators and Vents

Exhaust = To vent Waste Gasses from Engine, 530hp needs at least 2 exit pipes. (Notice Pipes are not too large)

Rear Spoiler = Positioned to provide Much Needed Downforce at the rear of vehicle, anything above 155mph needs this Downforce.

Yellow Caliper Cover = Indicates that this is the Carbon/Ceramic Composite that is of a very high Quality & Fade Free.

CF Engine Cover is to Reduce Weight.

DO you see any RICE effort here or do you now see the reasons for each of these design cues.

wow...the makings of a german vs japan sports car war that will make the 3series vs IS vs G35 vs C vs A4 seem like childs play.

im pretty aware of tht, its more of the 911 turbo against the gtr.this is RWD, otherwise it will wipe both the gtr and 911 tubo on track.
