Porsche 911 RSR (2017)

The 2017 version of the Porsche 911 RSR is a racing car that Porsche developed for the LM GTE classes of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the European Le Mans Series and the GTLM class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. It replaced the 911 RSR based on the 991 and was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2016. Reports before the launch claimed Porsche had received a waiver to move the engine forward and had wanted to base the car on the 918 Spyder, but Porsche said no waiver was sought because the car was fully legal under the 2017 GTE rules. It clinched its first victory at the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park in July 2017, and a licensed LEGO Technic scale model followed in 2019.
