This is a 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 Evo. Designed by Tony Hatter, the 911 GT2 Evo is a racing version of the 911 GT2, a high-performance track-oriented version of the 911 and is usually the most powerful and fastest car in the 911 lineup.
The 911 GT2 is powered by a 3.6L twin-turbocharged M64/60 flat-6, mated to a 6-speed manual. Compared to the 911 Turbo, the 911 GT2 sports upgrades such as wider plastic fenders, a larger rear wing with air scoops and an upgraded engine with 444 horsepower. Production began in 1993 and ended in 1998; 57 were produced, making this the rarest of the GT2s.
The 911 GT2 Evo was introduced in 1996 as a homologation special to allow the 911 GT2 to compete in GT1 events, it being a step up from the 911 GT2 used in GT2 events. Compared to the 911 GT2, the 911 GT2 Evo was lightened to 1,100 kg (2,425 lb), had a larger wing and fenders and had a more powerful engine featuring a larger Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch K27 turbocharger, allowing the car to produce 600 horsepower, run 3.3 second 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times and a 187 mph (301 km/h) top speed.
Campaigned at the BPR Global GT Series, the 911 GT2 Evo was a successful race car, winning seven class victories in the series and two class victories at the 1996 and 1997 24 Hours of Le Mans. However its time as Porsche's main race car was short-lived, with Porsche introducing the 911 GT1 the same year; the 911 GT2 Evo last raced in 2006 by a privateer. 11 chassis were built.
Now this casting was designed by Phil Riehlman and introduced in 2025 in the Elite 64 line. This is currently its only release.
