A Look Back at the Porsche 911 GT, McLaren F1, and Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR

5/17/20212:00 estFiled to: Porsche Race Cars, VideosBy: Stefan Ogbac

When McLaren won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with the F1 GTR entered in the GT1 class, Porsche decided to challenge it a year later with the 911 GT1.

Testing the 911 GT1 Straßenversion on Slippery Scottish Roads

11/18/20204:35 estFiled to: FIA World Endurance Championship, Porsche 993, Porsche 996By: Tommy Parry

Take the front half of a street car, the rear half of a race car, fuse them in the center, eventually replace the headlights for a pair of "broken eggs" from a 996.1, and cloak the car in a mysterious aura. The 911 GT1 is one of those elusive halo cars that only few eyes are fortunate enough to see. Its odd proportions, uncommonly racey …

Gasp In Awe As This 600-HP 993 GT2 Evo Barks Around Spa-Francorchamps

3/26/202011:28 estFiled to: Porsche 993By: Tommy Parry

Looking at the massive center-lock BBS wheels underneath those riveted wheel arches makes one giddy. With its widened track and complete absence of amenities, the GT2 Evo oozes unmistakable purpose—a sort of purpose which borders on crude. That's part of the charm of this old-fashioned brute. The 993 spent a relatively short span of time on the …

Porsche 911 GT1-98 Screams and Whistles at Goodwood

8/8/20189:58 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

For the 1998 season of the FIA GT championship, the rules regarding production car requirements were all but scratched. Finally, the second wave of GT1 machines were labeled for what they really were: thoroughbred prototypes. Without regulations cramping the style of the designers, the latest GT1 could be everything they wanted the original …

Is the 956 Porsche’s Most Influential Racecar?

1/5/20185:03 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Chris Cushing

Porsche 956 in Rothman livery

Let's ignore four out of five segments here, and deal solely with one. The Porsche 956 is arguably the most influential racecar of the last 35 years. It was not only dominant, a 956 or 962 would win Le Mans every year from 1982 through 1987, it changed the shape of racecars. The 956 was the first sports prototype constructed around an aluminum …

A Look Back: Developing the 911 GT1

10/16/20179:38 estFiled to: Porsche Race CarsBy: Tommy Parry

"Stretching the production car rules to the limit," the 911 GT1 started its life based largely off the design of the 993 GT2, a machine then competitive in classes like the BPR Global GT Series, but not wholly dominant. When McLaren began to steamroll its rivals in that category, which later became FIA GT1, an irked Porsche responded by developing …

5/17/20169:31 estFiled to: For SaleBy: Bradley Brownell

Monaco was an interesting auction for Porsche buyers (and sellers), as there were a few exceedingly rare lots that you're unlikely to see ever again, and haven't ever seen before. With a GT1 and a 924 GTR leading the way, there were a handful of other rarities and long-time auction stalwarts in the Principality over the weekend for sale. Pretty …

Porsche GT1 in the pits at Le Mans by Leonard Turner

Brought into existence under the watchful eye of the legendary engineer Norbert Singer in less than a year’s time, the Porsche GT1 made its debut at the all—important 24 hour struggle at Le Mans. Pitted against Ferrari F 40s, Nismo Nissans GT-Rs, and---count them---seven of the 6.0 liter McLaren F1 GTRs dominant the previous year, they had a …
