Porsche will also have 4 cars racing in GTE-Pro this year. The two full-time WEC cars will be running historic liveries; a "Rothmans-esque" livery :)lol) and a brand new Pink Pig. Looks cool! Garage is outfitted all in wood and brick look materials. Nice nod to 70 years of Porsche history.

Can’t wait to see the MSRP on the Rothman’s livery (street) version. ;-))

What's with the funny rear quarter windows and all the new trunk space?

Should be a 911i

Because i is the mathematical designation for an imaginary number and by definition a number that does not have a tangible value.

It seems an appropriate designation:lol Calling this car a 911 is as real as this car is on the street.

The liveries are real though and look fantastic!

Rothman is so iconic.. probably as much as Martini

What are the dashed lines on the pink car? Looks like the lines for cuts of beef.

Ha! It was just a feeling but I should have translated first!

Now, if we had a flying pink pig we'd have it named after Roger Waters :)

mid engined 911 doesn‘t compute for me, but hey that‘s why I have an old 914 instead of a 911.

But for Porsche this might be the best approach and I think they will be very competitive from the start.

Interesting race for sure, looking forward to BoP insight.
