A 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 with just 26,000 miles on the odometer is being offered for sale in California, giving collectors a rare chance to acquire one of approximately 194 examples imported to the United States for that model year. The car, a 997.1-generation GT2 finished in Black over a Black leather and Alcantara interior, was originally delivered to Pepe Porsche in White Plains, New York, and carries a total window sticker price of $206,835.
The GT2 occupies a special place in Porsche's modern history as the most focused, track-oriented variant of the 997 range. It is distinguished from the contemporary 911 Turbo by a series of weight-saving measures and chassis revisions. Aluminum trunk lid and doors help reduce mass, while Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) works with stiffer dampers, higher spring rates, and a ride height one inch lower than the Turbo. The car also features a fixed rear wing with integrated intakes, a revised front bumper with enlarged inlets, and a front lip spoiler.
Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six factory rated at 530 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a locking differential. The engine benefits from a recent oil change, and a DME report from that service is available. Braking is handled by Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with yellow six- and four-piston calipers and cross-drilled rotors; the brake fluid was flushed in preparation for the sale. Body-colour-painted 19-inch GT2 wheels were fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres in August 2026, and clear paint protection film covers the body.
The interior reflects the car's Exclusive options, which added nearly $9,000 to the original order. Carbon-fibre Sport bucket seats are upholstered in Black leather and Alcantara, with deviated stitching on the dashboard, centre console, seats, door panels, and rear side panels. The Interior Carbon and Carbon Switch Panel packages alone accounted for $3,790. Other details include illuminated carbon-fibre door sill guards, carbon-fibre centre console trim, silver seatbelts, an aluminium footrest, and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel framing yellow instrument dials with a 225-mph speedometer and a central tachometer redlined at 6,800 rpm. The Sport Chrono Package adds a stopwatch atop the dashboard.
The sale includes a Porsche certificate of authenticity, the original window sticker, manufacturer's literature, spare parts, accessories, two keys, a spare shift knob, and a clean Carfax report free of accidents or reported damage. The car holds a clean New Jersey title. For buyers drawn to analogue driving experiences, the combination of a manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, and a twin-turbo flat-six makes the 997.1 GT2 one of the last of its kind — a machine that rewards skill rather than insulating the driver from the road.
