duPont REGISTRY Live presents this exceptional 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo GT2 Tribute, a meticulously executed homage to Porsche’s legendary 993 GT2, completed by By Design in Los Angeles and finished in its original Speed Yellow paint over a bespoke black leather interior with Sonderwunsch-inspired yellow accents. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, this extensively upgraded example blends the iconic appearance of Porsche’s most celebrated air-cooled homologation special with the drivability and confidence of the 993 Turbo platform. Featuring a comprehensive FVD Brombacher GT2 aero conversion, BBS magnesium multi-piece wheels, upgraded K24 turbochargers, and a host of carefully selected performance enhancements, this GT2 Tribute offers a compelling combination of rarity, performance, and unmistakable road presence.

The 993 GT2 occupies a legendary position in Porsche history as one of the most uncompromising and sought-after air-cooled 911s ever produced. Developed as a homologation special for international GT racing, the GT2 shed the all-wheel-drive system of the Turbo in favor of rear-wheel drive, reduced weight, wider bodywork, and an unmistakably aggressive aerodynamic package. Produced in extremely limited numbers, the GT2 quickly earned a reputation for its raw driving dynamics. This expertly crafted GT2 Tribute captures the visual drama and competition-inspired spirit of the original, featuring the signature widened fenders, fixed rear wing, lightweight-inspired interior appointments, and purposeful stance that defined Porsche’s ultimate air-cooled homologation special. While remaining rooted in the proven 993 Turbo platform, it delivers the look, presence, and emotional appeal of a factory GT2 at a fraction of the cost of an original example.

Finished in its factory Speed Yellow paintwork, the exterior has been transformed with a comprehensive FVD Brombacher GT2 aero package that includes a European-spec front bumper, front splitter, widened fender flares, brake cooling ducts, rear engine cover, fixed rear wing, and GT2 badging. BBS magnesium competition multi-piece wheels fill the widened arches and reinforce the car’s purposeful stance, while Porsche stainless steel oval exhaust tips provide a subtle nod to factory aesthetics.

Inside, the cabin blends motorsport functionality with Porsche exclusivity. Black leather upholstery is accented by Special Wishes-inspired Speed Yellow trim details and carbon fiber interior elements. A GT3 Recaro Competition driver's seat with Scroth six-point harness, powder-coated Speed Yellow roll cage, rear seat delete, and Halon fire extinguisher emphasize the car’s track-focused intent, while amenities including air conditioning, power windows and locks, and an electric sunroof preserve everyday comfort. Additional enhancements include a 996-design leather three-spoke steering wheel, Cargraphic aluminum pedals, and custom carpeting throughout the rear compartment.

Performance upgrades are equally comprehensive. The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six has been enhanced with GT2-spec K24 turbochargers, a GIAC ECU calibration, EVO billet blow-off valves, K&N air filters, and a Turbo S oil cooler. Power is routed through a six-speed manual gearbox to all four wheels, while Bilstein PSS9 dampers, Eibach dual-adjustable coilovers, front and rear camber plates, and a Cargraphic front strut brace sharpen handling characteristics. Completing the package is a Cargraphic stainless steel exhaust system that delivers a fitting soundtrack to one of the most engaging air-cooled driving experiences available.

Combining the legendary engineering of the 993 Turbo with the visual drama and motorsport spirit of the GT2, this professionally built tribute presents a unique opportunity to acquire an air-cooled Porsche that stands apart from both stock examples and traditional modified builds. Thoughtfully executed, highly detailed, and instantly recognizable, it represents the perfect intersection of collector appeal, performance capability, and Porsche enthusiast passion.
