The 911 GT2 | Chassis
Rear axle Front axle
The 911 GT2 chassis is designed
for racecar-like performance on
every type of tarmac from motor-
way to track. The car rides about
25 mm lower than the 911 Carrera
and its lightweight build has
reduced overall weight as well as
the unsprung masses. Agile and
responsive, it is stable and secure
– particularly during cornering
manoeuvres.
The front suspension with its
special wheel mounts has
McPherson spring struts with
the wheels mounted individually
on trailing arms and wishbones.
Each front wheel is precisely
located, ensuring excellent
handling and directional stability
in all road and track scenarios.
Brake spoiler elements provide
efficient cooling for each of the
front brake units.
The rear axle assembly consists
of subframe-mounted multi-link
suspension featuring LSA con-
struction (Light, Stable, Agile).
This lightened design featuring
an aluminium cross-member
is an important factor in the
exceptional dynamics of the car.
Ride height, camber, toe angle
and anti-roll bar settings can
all be adapted to individual circuit
characteristics, as befits a racing
Porsche.
There is virtually no unwanted
movement between the suspen-
sion and body, thanks to special
features such as metal bearings
with ball joints on the front strut
mounts and rigid cross-members
at the rear. This reduced elasticity
and improved wheel location
enable better handling and turn-in.
The 911 GT2 has an electronic
variable damping system as
standard – Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM,
see page 48). This variable
damper system offers two basic
setup modes, ‘Normal’ and
‘Sport’.
