Default About the 993 GT2 versions

Hello there! I'm a new member here, as you can see. Even with this 13-year-old nickname I'm a true Porsche fan. I created a blog about german cars and started to write about the GT2 history.

So, I'm in the 993 generation and it's being very confusing.

We have 188 units of 993 GT2s.

- 57 are road versions, which include the '430 bhp', the '450 bhp' (WLS) and 20 Club Sports.

- 110 racing versions with 450-500 bhp and called what? Competition version or GT2 R as I saw in a couple of sites.

- 21 GT2 Evo, the GT1-focused with 600 bhp.

Am I correct? Do you have a link with these kind of geek information? I only have the Kindle version of the Brian Long book. Can't buy the Adrian Streather.

Thank you,

Matheus

Hey Matheus ..
If you haven't already, you should post this on the 993 Turbo forum as well ...

There were 2 series of the road version...the first 430 batch were made in '95 and had ali doors, the later, '98 MY 450bhp EVO versions were back with steel doors.
