Let Porsche’s video refresh your memory.
Porsche doesn’t have many supercars, compared to Ferrari. The german brand can produce about one supercar per decade. These machines are rare and make them even more unique. Porsche recalls some of these models with a new video.
The 1963 Carrera GTS is the starting point of the clip. It also has the internal number 904. The engine is a 2.0-liter four-cam four-cylinder. The owner can use the model as a road car, or as a racer, depending on their preference. In the 1960s, they had great success at the track.
It is a strange place to start a discussion about Porsche supercars. The 550 Spyder predecessor served the same purpose, allowing the owner to use the car on the road and entering a race.
The video then shows the 1975-1989 Porsche 930. Although it is an important car, it pushes the boundaries of what a supercar can be. This 911 was not a special chassis, nor was it limited in production. It was highly modified and was made available for more than a decade. The first models featured a 3.0-liter flat-six engine, while later models boasted a more powerful 3.3-liter unit.
The next is the unquestionably a supercar. The vehicle featured all-wheel drive and an engine with a twin-turbocharged 2.85 liter flat-six. It was a technological marvel at the time. Although Porsche did not officially sell them in the USA, the 25-year-old importation rule allowed some to sneak into America.
The road-legal version is the most rare vehicle in this clip, with a production run of just around two dozen units. The homologation special was a road racing racecar.
The Carrera GT Next is the next. It’s arguably the most important creation in the company’s past. It was also the last supercar built in analog before electronic assist really became a reality in this segment.
918 Spyder is the exact opposite of the Carrera GT with its hybrid powertrain. However, its performance capabilities are still outstanding. The 911 GT2RS is the end of the video. It’s more like a modified 911 than a supercar.
