Video: The incredible Porsche 993 GT2 is a true fire-breather

Can it really be 20 years since cars like this Porsche 993 GT2 were racing at the likes of Le Mans? During what was one of the most incredible eras of endurance racing in recent memory.

It still looks bang up to date here as it heads out onto the track at what is a mouth-watering blend of footage from the 2022 Spa Classic and Le Mans classic. It’s still living up to that strong endurance heritage as it’s racing both in the daytime and at night, where we get to enjoy the endless stream of flames pouring out of the exhausts.

That flax-six sounds, of course, absolutely incredible, even when it’s surrounded by a host of other spectacular cars, and we can’t help but get weak at the knees when we see those oh-so-recognisable headlights streaming through the darkness as this 430PS (316kW) monster roars down the Kemmel Straight.
