And like the Porsche’s first Le Mans car, the special model features the same “46” race number.

Elegant accents are set by the contrasting colour Cayon. In addition, red seat belts are reminiscent of the GT1. Other interior details include the Le Mans racetrack embossed on the centre armrest, the 24h Le Mans logo on the headrests and the model lettering on the door sill trims.

Technically the car is based on the Porsche 911 (992.1) Carrera GTS. It is powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine delivering 353 kW (480 hp), which can be paired with a 7-speed manual or an 8-speed PDK transmission.
