The new 911 GT2 is fast. How fast? When we reported that it would lap the famed Nordschleife circuit in - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER many of our regular readers expressed their disbelief and doubt. The image came from a leaked brochure but we were unable to get official confirmation on this as Porsche’s local (Australian) press office is incredibly uncooperative with Internet media.

Well, doubt no more. Our friends over at Auto Motor & Sport Sweden - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, who discusses his experience with the new supercar. He claims he has done the Nordschleife in an incredible 7:31m, even faster than the factory figure we provided. Röhrl also goes on to say the GT2 is so fast that even he’s sometimes scared of its power and that despite being RWD only (the Turbo is AWD) it’s still able to put down all of its 530hp effectively.

And Rörhl managed 7.28 in the Carrera GT!

Porsche builds some truly amazing autombiles and I'm not surprised by this figure!

But you definitely get what you pay for!

Simple as this: This car over any Italian or any other in this class! Period!

Yeah the price is high but if you want the best sports but can't afford a CGT or Zonda, then this is the car to have.

On the other hand it takes one very skilled and fearless driver to drive the GT2 at it's limit. Walter is spectacular.

Wiesmann MF5 please! (sorry, couldn't resist.. )

Seriously though, the GT2 is a car that simply no one can fault. Whether you like it or not, It'll be spectacular; just like any 911 before it. Looking forward to the first performances tests!
