Carrera, the completely redesigned seventh- generation sports car icon, and a forbearer of race cars to come, will be on display for the first time in North America for Porsche enthusiasts to see up close at Rennsport Reunion IV.

It took a while for Porsche Motorsport to warm up to the 911 as a race car, but, as has happened several times in the company’s history, the customers took the lead. Almost as soon as the 911 went into production, buyers were using it in hill climbs and As the 911 race car and street car histories are autocrosses and Porsche itself started to produce completely intertwined, it is fitting to show our latest lightweight and enhanced performance vehicles for 911 at a motor racing extravaganza,” said Bernd their motorsports customers.
