Porsche 997 Mark II GT3
The second generation Porsche 997 mk.ii GT3 was released in 2009 following some widespread complaints about the car’s first iteration. With the now enlarged engine, 3.8 liters rated at 435 PS (320 kW), the little beast could reach 0-60 in 3.8 seconds which shaved a whole tenth of a second off of its predecessors time. I’m assuming you’re a car guy, but if you’re not that is a serious improvement.
The second generation 997 GT3 was equipped with several new options including dynamic engine mounts and a modified rear spoiler. With the new pneumatically lifting front axel, the car could navigate obstacles that proved troublesome for low ground clearance. While a popular car, the numbers might surprise you. Only 654 units were sold in the United States and 58 in Canada, meaning this car value is rapidly appreciating as the years carry on.
