In the wake of the Porsche 911 GT2 brochure leak on Thursday, Carscoop has posted the first official images of the mighty new 'bahn-stormer. They're clearer than the ones included in the brochure sca, which you can view by click ing here. The car'sessentials break down as follows:

2008 Porsche 911 GT2

3.6-liter twin turbo flat six
530 horsepower at 5,600 rpm
505 lb.-ft. of torque from 2,200 to 4,500 rpm

0-100 mph in 7.1 seconds
Top speed of 204 mph
Curb weight:: 3,175 lbs
Titanium exhaust
6-speed manual gearbox
Launch control system

The brochure spells it all out in greater detail, but suffice to say that the new GT2 is one of the most serious sports cars to come from Porsche -- ever, and it appears to be more than worthy of the "Respect Required" tagline the automaker applies to it.
