2001 Porsche 911 GT2 review from Australia and New Zealand
"I am happy to say that I am one of the few to own this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I knocked the sunroof with my hand while it was shutting. It blew some fuse.
It is a VERY expensive car so I am not expecting much to go wrong. After all it is a German car.
General comments?
The first thing I would like to say about this car is it has none of the annoying niggles that my old Maserati had. Things like a leaking sunroof and non-functioning climate control and power windows are a thing of the past. But, the ambience of the interior, I am sorry but the Porsche does not come close. I miss those lashings of wood veneer.
Secondly, THIS CAR IS FAST, IT ALMOST RIVALS A DIABLO!
Top Speed: 315km/h (Yet to be tested, I will get to Northern Territory and test it though).
Acceleration: 4.1 sec (0-100km/h) (0.1 sec slower than a Diablo).
Torque: 620Nm (Same as a Diablo!)
Power: 340kW.
There are features in the Porsche that I personally didn't expect like Electric seats. I thought that the aim was to keep weight down but obviously not. It isn't stripped like a Lotus Elise (sorry to all you Elise lovers).
I can't emphasise how fast this car is. UNBELIEVABLE!
