Fitted with a six-speed transaxle transmission, the car&#8217;s M64\/60R twin-turbo flat-six engine could generate an outstanding 430 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. This potent powertrain enabled the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds and attain a top speed of 190 mph. Serving as the most expensive model in the 911 range, the GT2, in its original Type 993 form, remained in production until 1998.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div
