The 996-generation Porsche 911 GT2 is a rare find in any color, and this 2002 example adds an extensive Porsche Exclusive interior specification to its appeal. Its Seal Grey Metallic exterior comes from Porsche’s regular production palette rather than the Paint to Sample program, covering the GT2s widened bodywork and fixed rear wing a restrained period finish. Paired with black full leather and numerous carbon details, it is a distinctive specification for one of the era’s most focused road-going 911s.

Offered by Castell GmbH in Wolpertshausen, Germany, this GT2 was first registered in June 2002 and shows 37,000 km, or approximately 23,000 miles. The dealer is selling it on behalf of a client and says it has remained with the same owner since 2007.

The listing identifies numerous Porsche Exclusive details, including carbon-Kevlar seats, carbon door sills, a carbon center console, and carbon trim for the shift knob, handbrake lever and dashboard. Black full leather provides the backdrop, with aluminum-finish instruments and a Porsche crest on the rear console completing the specified interior treatment. Painted wheels are also listed, although the advertisement does not identify their finish.

The equipment extends beyond the decorative details. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, a limited-slip differential and bi-xenon headlights are listed alongside navigation and cruise control. The latter two give this particular GT2 some touring amenities to accompany its more focused hardware.

Its 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six is rated at 462 PS, approximately 456 hp, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Introduced in 2001, the 996 GT2 brought the turbocharged engine into a lighter, rear-drive configuration and was Porsche’s first model with ceramic brakes as standard.

At €269,000, this is a substantial collector-car proposition. Its appeal rests on the combination of restrained exterior color, extensive interior specification, relatively low recorded mileage and the long ownership period reported by the seller. For a buyer seeking a 996 GT2 with a more individually appointed cabin, this Seal Grey example merits a closer look.
