The 911 GT2 is the fastest road-going 911 ever built. But apparently it isn’t fast enough for some.
The folks over at SpeedART just unveiled their BTR-XS 650 911 GT2. Unlike most tuner Porsches, the body mods on this are are very tastefully done. But the real news is in the back. SpeedART has added headers [...]
