Porsche will release their fastest ever Porsche 911 sports coupe in November this year. The revamped Porsche 911 GT2, will have a price tag of £108,000 (159,000€ / US$219,300).

The Porsche sports coupe will race from 0-100km per hour in only 3.7 seconds! And its 530 horsepower engine will allow the car to reach an insane top speed of 329kph (204 miles per hour). This is faster than the normally aspirated GT3 or the base version of the Porsche 911 Turbo.

The new Porsche 911 GT2 will come equipped with carbon ceramic brake disks and weight saving titanium tailpipes as well as a more efficient intake manifold. Porsche said the new rear engined GT2 consumes on average 12.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Brushing up on its green credentials amid criticism its powerful sports cars are heavy polluters, Porsche said the new GT2 "offers a level of fuel economy regarded as quite impossible in this performance class just a few years ago".

"With the new GT2, the (current generation) 911 model line is now complete," a spokesman said, referring to the present incarnation of the long-running 911 series, dubbed the 997.

The 911 GT2 is equipped with a six cylinder, 3.6 liter petrol Boxer engine based on the one used in the 911 Turbo, aspirated with two turbochargers employing its variable turbine geometry that can operate at exhaust temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
