PORSCHE 911 GT1

This is Car No.15 out of 25




INTRODUCTION

Born out of Regulation dictations from the GT1 racing category, a total of 25 cars must be built for road use. Porsche developed a fully road-legal version, dubbed "911 GT1 StraBenversion", and delivered one in early 1996 to the German government for compliance testing, which it passed. The engine had to be slightly de-tuned to meet European emissions laws, although its 537 hp and dry weight of 1,150 kg proved to be more than adequate, this was due to the fact that it was designed in CAD to be manufactured completely out of carbon fibre. Meaning this vehicle can accelerate to 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 308 km/h.
