This link I think (GT2 "Mk2"):

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/porsche...?storyId=16411


This time the 997’s mighty twin turbo flat six has been boosted to a rumoured 520bhp. Seeing as the GT2 will once again be rear wheel drive only – and hence around 100kg lighter than the four wheel drive and luxuriously equipped regular 997 Turbo – the new GT2 should be somewhat brisk.

Looks great. Saw a brand new 997 Turbo in white yesterday driving through Harold Wood. Looked a stunner, thought it was an odd colour for a Turbo, just seen white GT3's up till then.

Is the latest generation 911. The 997 nomenclature lets you know what age range and body style it is: 993 = last of the air-cooled models, 996 = the first of the water cooled models, 997 = the current range.

Just like E30, E36, E43, E90 tells you what body shape 3 series it is .

Saw that the other night on Pistonheads, i've also got a link to a stunning Porsche on my PC at home, will have to have a look, love them!

I think it looks beautiful in white! I was out the other night in Bournemouth up on the cliffs and saw a white Lambo Murcielago parked up, one of the best looking ones i've ever seen!
