Pair of Rare 911 993 GT2 Clubsports Conquer Autocross
Two of 20 1996 993 GT2 Clubsport models flex their flat-six muscles across the tarmac of a Swiss runway under the Alps.
There are lots of places to give your Porsche the exercise it needs. For some, a day on a few two-lane back roads will suffice. Others might want to go on the drag strip to show up everyone else. And who can forget the well-placed cones of your nearest autocross. Granted, most of those places are random parking lots next to the mall, but it’s not about the setting, after all.
Or is it? YouTube channel NM2255 Car HD Videos recently attended an autocross on a quiet runway in Switzerland, surrounded by the majesty of the Swiss Alps. Thus, the perfect place for two of the rarest Porsches of the modern day to flex their flat-six muscles.
“See and hear the ultra-rare 1996 Porsche 911 993 GT2 Clubsport getting properly driven on a private airstrip in Switzerland,” the channel writes. “In this video you’ll see two of the 20 special Clubsports that were part of the extremely limited production run of 57 road-going 993 GT2s built between 1993-1998.”
The rarest turbocharged 911s around, the white and yellow 993 GT2 Clubsport pair packs a big, 430-horsepower punch from their 3.6-liter flat-sixes. Of course, it’s possible both of these are modded to make more power to the fat rear wheels. Either way, they sound the business.
Each one of the 993 GT2 Clubsports make the most of every run through the cones under the towering mountainside. Every foot they cover, the whine of the turbos perform a duet with the growl of the flat-six upon the tarmac, occasionally accompanied by squealing tires.
There’s nothing like seeing a Porsche 911 give it all it’s got. It’s even better when it’s a rarity like the 1996 993 GT2 Clubsport. Most of these cars are likely kept on permanent display in a climate-controlled garage as someone’s investment.
It’s sad to think they will never get a chance to play with everyone else, whether at an autocross or a simple Sunday drive. We are certainly grateful two owners of one of the rarest Porsches around knew what their cars were meant to do.
