The 993-generation 911 Turbo was an exceptional road car employing all manner of technology gleaned from the 959 supercar, especially its four-wheel drive system, from just a decade earlier. That very same system posed a significant challenge for any Turbo based competition effort. While the four-wheel drive Porsche 961 was a fruitful test bed, Audi's rally dominance and Nissan's road racing successes with the Skyline, meant that four-wheel drive race cars were being banned by most race series by the mid-1990s. This problem was laid bare for the Porsche Motorsport Department and like so many exceptional 20th century road cars, the GT2 was the solution for a racing program loathe to take time away from the track.

GT2 racing variants would go to substantial success with upgraded bodywork, suspension, brakes, and wheels to handle the significant increase in performance. The addition of lightweight parts like an aluminum hood and door skins, thinner glass, the removal of sound deadening, and front wheel drive componentry helped the GT2 shed approximately 300 kilograms. It was a recipe for success on track and when Porsche was required to build the homologation variant a sales success as well. Street legal examples boasted 430 horsepower from the twin-turbo flat-six “M64/60R” engine bringing them closer to their racing counterpart than the standard Turbo engine. Performance was exceptional, with zero to 60 mph in about four seconds, 100 mph in a hair over seven seconds on the way to 187 mph. Of course, the GT2 Strassenversion had the appropriate looks to match its prodigious performance with cutaway fenders, and bolt on flares (a by-product of the necessity to quickly index them during production) were also incorporated to fit a widened track and wide three-piece magnesium Speedline wheels. When complete, the 911 GT2 was crowned by the motoring press as the king of Porsche's road-going line up and today is considered the peak of air-cooled turbocharged cars from Porsche.

According to Porsche 911 GT2 by Mader/Koum chassis number WP0ZZZ99ZTS392104 was an early production German-market "M002” Strasse completed on 11 July 1995. Finished in classic Grand Prix White (the final year offered) it features a Black leather interior with Dark Grey seat inlays, body color painted Recaro seat backs, and Guards Red seat belts and door pulls. Factory options include Air Conditioning, power windows, radio preparation, a green graduated tint windshield, higher amperage (75) battery, and airbags. It is one of only 126 left hand drive examples built for 1996. It is unknown when this example left Germany, however its CARFAX Vehicle History Report locates it in Vancouver, BC, Canada as early as 2016. By 2022 it was located in Miami, Florida where it has resided until consignment to Broad Arrow's Air|Water auction with just under 30,000 kilometers (approximately 18,424 miles) and is offered with its manuals including the rare 911 GT2 supplement, and its toolkit. Rarely do roadgoing GT2s become available for public sale. It should go without saying that the opportunity to purchase such an exceptional, road going sports car with impeccable presentation should not be overlooked.
