Used 2005 Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche 911 (996) GT3 Gen II, When you think performance Porsche, the nameplate GT3 surely comes to the forefront of the mind for any automotive enthusiast. It is hard to believe that this famous derivative of the 911 has only been around since the release of the 996.1 GT3 back in 1999, a year where VHS was becoming obsolete, Britney Spears was top of the charts and kids were fighting over rare Pokmon cards. The 2nd generation of the 996 GT3 featured a more aggressive overall look with differing front and rear bumpers as well as upgraded performance, boasting an impressive 381bhp from the 3.6 litre flat 6 engine. It is believed that a reported 246 Gen 2 examples of the 996 GT3 entered the UK via Porsche Cars Great Britain, but the mix of Comfort and Clubsport specification was not officially recorded. Even without the confirmed number of Comfort spec UK cars, it is clear to see the rarity of this example. Whilst the close synergy between 911 and GT3 has been ever present for 23 years, it is staggering to believe that this 996 GT3 Gen 2 car is pushing towards its 20th birthday.
