Porsche 911 GT1 EVO

The 911 GT1 was Porsche's answer to a single question: how do you win Le Mans again? Developed by Porsche Motorsport at Weissach under Norbert Singer, it carried the 911 name but shared almost nothing with the production car. Furthermore, it combined a steel tube frame and composite structure with a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.2-litre flat-six producing around 600 hp. Moreover, the Evo of 1997 brought revised aerodynamics that made it considerably faster than the original car. Porsche built these cars in tiny numbers, each one a purpose-built works racing machine. Today the 911 GT1 ranks among the rarest and most significant Porsches ever created.

This car is one of just nine GT1s delivered to privateer customers. Furthermore, it competed in period in the Kennol livery, taking part in the 24 Hours of Daytona and appearing at Le Mans in 1997. As a result, it carries genuine competition history from the years when the GT1 was at the very front of international sports car racing. Few surviving examples can claim the same.
The car has since been completely restored. During that work it was converted and approved for road use, while retaining its competition specification throughout. Furthermore, it is now approved for both racing and the public road, a combination that very few cars of this calibre can offer.
