75-Years Booth Car Line-Up

Porsche 356 SL

In 1948 and 1949, Porsche built 44 Type 356/2 Coupés in Gmünd, Austria, with another 11 completed in Stuttgart. The lightweight aluminium cars were about 120 kilograms lighter than later 356 models and became the first German sports cars to carry the “SL” – Super Light – designation. In 1951, one of these 356 SLs achieved Porsche’s first class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It went on to set a world distance record at Montlhéry and win the Liège–Rome–Liège rally in 1952.

Porsche 718/2

The 718 Formula 2 was Porsche’s first open-wheel single-seater, developed from the proven 718 RSK Spyder and powered by the four-cam Carrera engine. In 1960, it secured the unofficial Formula 2 World Championship – the “Coupe des Constructeurs” – against strong competition from Cooper, Ferrari and Lotus. Further developments to the 718/2 led to continued success, including podium finishes in 1962.

2708 CART

After success in the World Endurance Championship and as McLaren’s engine partner in Formula 1, Porsche ventured into the American CART series to raise the brand’s profile in a highly popular racing category. The racing car developed in Weissach was a completely new design with a monocoque made of aluminium and plastic, powered by a methanol-fuelled engine designed as a load-bearing component. In 1989, Teo Fabi secured Porsche’s first CART victory at the race in Mid-Ohio.

919 Hybrid

The 919 Hybrid (2017) was Porsche’s FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) entry from 2014 to 2017, but its biggest achievement came in its final year, when the #2 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans after finding itself down in 56th position after a technical issue.

911 GT3 R Hybrid

From 2010 to 2012, Porsche developed the 911 GT3 R Hybrid as a “rolling race lab” for research into hybrid drives for high-performance sports cars, combining a boxer engine with two electric motors and a flywheel energy storage system. The system increased efficiency and reduced pit stops while providing additional electric boost to the front wheels under acceleration. In 2011, the car achieved the first overall victory for a hybrid racer on the Nürburgring.

99X Electric (GEN2)

The 2019/2020 Porsche 99X Electric was Porsche’s first all-electric factory race car. Porsche used its 800-volt electrical architecture and used the platform as a jumping off point to further their electric endeavours.

961

The first all-wheel-drive race car to finish at Le Mans was a Porsche. On 1 June 1986, René Metge and Claude Ballot-Lena took the flag as seventh overall with their 640 PS Porsche 961, which was based on the ground-breaking super sports car 959.

GT4 e-Performance

Electric peak performance: With the Mission R, we’ve shown how Porsche envisions electric customer racing in the future. The 718 Cayman GT4 e-Performance is now demonstrating that this vision works impressively on the racetrack With variable power and all-wheel drive, the GT4 e-Performance is designed for a wide variety of racing formats – built to inspire.

975 RSE

The future is here. At the start of the next Formula E season, all teams will race with the GEN4 platform. This is the next step in the world’s premiere electric racing series with massively increased performance that promises even better racing.

What a day. It’s super special to be celebrating my first win in Formula E, together with Porsche at their home race. 75th anniversary of Porsche Motorsport, wearing very special colours, and to be adding a little bit to the history (that we are wearing out on track today) of Porsche Motorsport – it just makes me super proud, super grateful. Thanks for your support, and we’re going to go again tomorrow.
