The newly arrived Porsche 911 Cup cars will take to the track for the first time in North America at the official Porsche Carrera Cup North America series-wide test at Sebring International Raceway on February 16 & 17.

All of the new Porsche 911 Cup cars made the 4,482-mile journey across the Atlantic, marking a significant logistical milestone ahead of the championship’s sixth season.
The safe and timely arrival of the cars ensures customer teams can prepare properly for a season that will once again showcase identical, factory-built GT race cars competing at the pinnacle of one-make competition on the continent.
A 60-ton transatlantic operation.
Behind the scenes, the delivery was a complex, precision-driven operation. The shipment included all of the high-performance race cars weighing more than 60 tons in total, transported inside 21 shipping containers.
The multimodal route combined enclosed car carriers for European road transport with dedicated vessel space for the ocean crossing before final distribution to teams in the United States.
DSV’s Vehicle Competency Centers in Stuttgart and Atlanta coordinated the move, bridging time zones and overseeing each phase of the journey. By selecting sea freight over air transport, the operation reduced carbon emissions by 97 percent, producing approximately 8 tons of CO2 compared to an estimated 280 tons via traditional air methods.
The approach underlined how sustainability and time-critical motorsport logistics can operate hand in hand when carefully planned.
New partnership powers the paddock.
The successful delivery of the new 911 Cup cars also marks the beginning of an expanded partnership between Porsche Motorsport North America and DSV, which has been named the Official Logistics Partner of PMNA for the 2026 season.
DSV branding will appear on all Porsche Carrera Cup North America race cars throughout the year, reinforcing its presence in the premier North American Porsche one-make series.
With nearly 150,000 employees across 90 countries, DSV brings extensive global freight forwarding expertise to the partnership. The collaboration builds on work that began in 2023 and now formalizes DSV’s role in supporting PMNA’s transport and logistics needs.
For a championship that relies on precision timing, international coordination, and the flawless movement of high-value race equipment, the alignment reflects the growing importance of specialist logistics providers in modern motorsport.
