Porsche 911 GT1

The Porsche 911 GT1 is a race car that Porsche AG designed and developed to compete in the GT1 class of sportscar racing, which also required a street-legal version to be homologated. That limited-production road car was named the 911 GT1 Strassenversion. The front of the chassis is based on the 993-generation 911, while the rear subframe came from the 962C Group C prototype, and the water-cooled, twin-turbocharged, intercooled 3.2 litre flat-six makes about 600 PS. The 1996 car reached exactly 330 km/h on the Mulsanne Straight in practice for Le Mans. A revised GT1 Evo, with new bodywork previewing the 996 generation of the 911, followed for 1997.
