Phenomenal performance, staggeringly good brakes, surprisingly comfortable considering it's a near 200 mph supercar
Lack of traction control combined with rear-wheel drive and 462 bhp means the GT2 demands total concentration at all times
The quickest, most powerful 911 to date is a wild, wild ride, with performance that's easily accessed and unforgettable
Seats with the most slender of padding and suspension set up for the rigours of 200 mph don't sound like the best combination for comfortable motoring, yet somehow the GT2 is easy on body and mind. Yes, the ride's firm, but seldom does it crash or thump, while those competition-style seats are kind to bum and back even after long stints behind the wheel. Tyre noise is a bit wearing on long journeys, but at least the engine note doesn't intrude too much. Space isn't a problem in the front of the GT2, with plenty of room for even tall drivers and passengers, but the rear seats have been removed entirely, which means there's a considerable amount of (carpeted) luggage area behind the front seats. That's just as well, as the boot (located in the nose) has room only for a single soft bag. There's not much oddments space, either, so remember to travel light and tidy. Still, it's more spacious than most 200 mph supercars. Owners after the full purist, lightweight experience will order their GT2 without a radio. Those who fancy a bit of entertainment on long trips can plump for a CD/tuner, available as a no-cost option. It's a simple-to-use system with a CD slot in the front of it and reasonable sound quality.
