Gold-decked Porsche 997 GT2 for sale in the UAE
In a country replete with supercars, there’s a sure-fire way to get people’s attention and make your car stand out from the rest – a tall order considering that just about every car in the UAE comes with a six-figure price tag. The solution: dress it up in gold. This Porsche 997 GT2, which was photographed by the folks over at GT Spirit, stands out not because it’s a Porsche – they have a lot of those in that region – or that it’s a racing version of a supercar, but because it’s glittered in a pretty dramatic dark gold exterior. What’s more, according to GT Spirit, the car is actually for sale, too, which makes us wonder who would pay what we imagine to be an exorbitant sum of Benjamins for a chance to go home with this high-fashion sports car. What we do know is that if we had the moolah, we’d definitely take a stab at it. 2010 TechArt GTstreet RS

High horsepower Porsches are coming back into style.Last summer the German tuning firm, 9ff, released a ridiculously powerful version of Porsche’s current performance figurehead, the GT2. What set the 9ff GT2 apart from the standard vehicle was a tuning kit that could make 670 HP, up from the factory 520 HP, and go 220 MPH. Not to be outdone by the American tuners, Switzer Performance, and their stock looking 800 HP GT2. 9ff has shot back with a complete reworking of their previous package, complete with a hearty diet of carbon fiber and a paintjob that should be worth a few seconds around a track. Most of the body panels have been replaced with the lightweight black stuff and under normal circumstances it would be a crime to cover it up, but the classic Gulf paint scheme from Le Mans cars like the Ford GT40, Porsche 917 and now Aston Martin’s LMP1 entry make this GT2 look at home on a racetrack. The flat six in the 9ff BT2, makes 850 HP and motivates the uber911 to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.0 seconds, hit 120 MPH in 8.7 seconds and the all important 300 km/h mark in 18.5 seconds. That is 180 MPH in less time than it takes an average car to complete the quarter mile. Because the 9ff BT2, is an upgrade over their old GT2, the vehicle’s top speed has been raised to 240 MPH, but 9ff will custom tune customers gearboxes with either shorter gearing for enhanced acceleration, or long cogs for even more top end. All this can be yours for only €285,000 ($398,000). 800 HP Porsche 911 GT2
A decade ago, if you drove a car with 200 HP, it was something special; but today it is hard to even find a car with less horsepower. Factory V6s are making more than V8s used to, and get a lot better gas mileage. These days it is not uncommon to have anywhere from three to four hundred ponies under the hood of your ride. So in order to stand out in a world of high performance Porsches, you need something special, something like an 800 HP 911 GT2. The American tuning company Switzer Performance can give this to you, for the measly sum of $39,000 plus the cost of the Porsche. Switzer is able to achieve such astronomical power figured from the flat six thanks to a set of custom ball bearing Garret GT30R-based turbochargers. Switzer’s upgraded turbos are capable of compressing massive amounts of air, while generating less unwanted heat and friction than the stock units, the charged air is them brought back down to operating temperature inside a pair of Switzer’s own MONSTER intercoolers. Each cylinder is then fed additional air and fuel by way of larger injectors and custom intake plenum with an oversized throttle-body. In order to maintain factory driveability, the engine is still controlled by the stock ECU; however Switzer has reprogrammed the unit to get the most out of their custom setup.
