The most astounding blend of speed and civility ever offered in a production road car.
For all its pace, lacks a certain sense of occasion.
Deeply impressive road weapon, but not Porsche's ultimate driving machine.
If you're after an ultra-high-performance car but need one that will handle the accrual of a high mileage in a short period of time, there's nothing better on the market. For all its explosive performance and astonishing output, we don't doubt that a GT2 will prove very little less reliable in the long run than a Boxster. If only we could say the same about many other supercars with six-figure price tags.
There's no faulting the construction quality of the GT2 either and the only reason we've lopped off a star in this section is the striking similarity between its cabin materials and those of a standard 911 at less than half the price. Around the £60,000 mark the slightly gloomy and unimaginative cabin with its substantial plastic content may be acceptable, but up here in the thin air above £130,000 it's probably not.
