Porsche presents the special edition 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire Edition, exclusively available on the French market. Pay homage to the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and commemorate the history of Porsche at the historic Circuit de la Sarthe.
The 911 Carrera GTS Le Mans Centenaire Edition is inspired by two winning cars: the Porsche 356 SL and the Porsche 911 GT1 '98. By reinterpreting its design elements, the result is a modern sports car for the gentleman driver.
The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) has also played an important role in the realization of this special edition. “The history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is closely linked to that of Porsche, a prestigious brand that is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. This special edition is a fantastic tribute to the most important endurance race in the world”, says Pierre Fillon, President of ACO. “We want to thank Porsche for their commitment to endurance racing and for continuing to give car enthusiasts something to dream about.”
The special edition is based on the 480 horsepower (353 kW) 911 Carrera GTS. A turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, together with the standard sports chassis, offers characteristic Porsche performance. Customers can choose between a 7-speed manual transmission or the 8-speed PDK transmission.
