The infamous 2001 Porsche 911 GT2 996.2 earned its 'Widowmaker' nickname due to its extreme performance characteristics and lack of electronic driver aids such as stability control systems that are commonly found in cars today. This, coupled with an RWD setup which made it more tail-happy and challenging to control, meant that the car relied heavily on the driver's skill and experience to handle its raw power. It was extraordinarily rewarding to those who could tame it, but potentially dangerous in the hands of those unaccustomed to its wild, unpredictable nature.

This particular unit is a UK spec model registered in 2006 fitted with the Clubsport package. With a production run of only 303 units worldwide for both LHD and RHD of which the latter is significantly rarer, the 996 GT2 remains an extremely coveted model among Porsche collectors due to its rarity and remarkable performance.
