2009 Essen Show: Wimmer RS Takes the Porsche 911 GT2 to the Next Level with 827HP GT2 Speed

With 530 ponies under the hood, or rather the rear axle, we imagine that few Porsche 911 GT2 owners will ever complain about lack of power. Still, horsepower-junkies can get their fix with Wimmer RS's latest tuning project amply named "GT2 Speed Bi-Turbo" which boasts a whopping 827HP and a top speed of 378km/h or 235mph.

The German tuner starts with the 911 GT2's 3.6-liter turbocharged boxer engine that receives a series of upgrades including a pair of high-performance turbochargers, a sport exhaust system, modified engine block and a new ECU. The result is an output of 827 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and a mind-blowing 948Nm or 699.2 lb-ft of torque.

Wimmer RS supports that the GT2 Speed Bi-Turbo sprints from standstill to 100km/h (62mph) in just 3.38 seconds and to 300km/h (187 mph) in 20.2 seconds, while maxing out at 378km/h (235mph).

The car also gets a set of 20-inch Sportec alloy rims wrapped in 235/30 R20 high-performance Dunlop tires up front and 325/25 R20 at the rear, along with H&R sport springs and carbon fiber exterior mirrors and a rear spoiler lip.

The price for the GT2 Speed Bi-Turbo has been set at €281,000 that comes to about US$424,000 at today's exchange rates.
