In 1993, Porsche had experimented with the use of a turbocharged 911 in international motorsports with the use of the extensively modified turbo 964, named the Turbo S LM-GT. Seeing the potential of the car not only to be fast and reliable, as well as customer demand for a car to replace the 964 generation Carrera RSRs, Porsche chose to develop the turbocharged 993 for customer use.

The 993 GT2 race car would featured a stripped interior, built-in rollcage for safety, minor adjustments to the bodywork and wings in order to decrease weight as well as increase downforce, as well as wider fenders to handle racing slicks. The suspension would be modified to better handle racing use, while the engine would be slightly tweaked for endurance use. Twin KKK turbochargers running mandated air restrictors allowed for 450 hp (336 kW).
