  • Porsche in Le Mans
    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000
    1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Classic Rally Car PRICE £50,000 ABOUT THIS CAR Rally Preparation Services is delighted to offer an extremely rare opportunity to own this stunning Porsche 924 Turbo. Porsche originally introduced the 924 to its model line-up in dealer showrooms in 1976, Being the first ever front engine rear wheel drive car offered by the manufacturer. Having a transaxle gearbox at the rear giving a 48/52 weight distribution gave unprecedented balance and handling, easily outperforming its rivals in the market. This new project and build was a joint venture with Volkswagen, and it was a totally new approach, Porsche designed the car and VW built it but directly overseen by Porsche. The early 924’s were heavily criticized for their lack of outright power (around 110BHP – 120BHP depending on market) so Porsche re-energized the model in 1978 by installing a KKK Turbocharger giving 170BHP which instantly gave the car that much awaited power – well deserved praise followed for the engineers after finally finding some proper speed to match its excellent handling characteristics. This was the birth of the 924 Turbo. This car offers a particularly limited opportunity to purchase a very capable rally car that is not just striking to look at, but brilliant fun to drive and has a history that absolutely no other Porsche 924 Turbo can offer. The build was completed over a five-year period as a no cost restriction exercise and as a replica of an original works prepared car. When finished this Porsche 924 Turbo was shown at a Porsche Concours show in Switzerland, one of the panel of judges on the day was none other than former Porsche engineer and race and rally driver Jürgen Barth.

However, the GT3 is no mere homologation special. Although it does not carry Power to go, to what weekend racers might consider to be unnecessary ballast – things such as flow, and to stop a back seat – it remains a car that can be a daily driver. A reduction of the moving masses within the engine allows Porsche’s 3.6-liter, 380 horsepower six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine to spin more freely, producing more without horsepower and torque while allowing the GT3 to maintain the same fuel consumption ratings as other 911 models. turbocharging The 2004 911 GT3 is rated at 380 (SAE) horsepower (at 7,400 rpm) and at 285 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm. In first, second, third and fourth gears, the engine revs to 8,200 rpm before its computerized rev limiter is activated. Eighty percent of the engine’s maximum torque is available at as few as 2,000 rpm. For purposes of comparison, the 2004 Porsche 911 is rated at 315 horsepower (SAE), and the 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo provides 415 horsepower (SAE). In track testing, the 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates from a standing start to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.3 seconds and achieves 100 mph (161 km/h) in only 9.4 seconds.
