Making its debut in Los Angeles late last year, the Porsche 911 RSR takes on the Daytona International Speedway this weekend but could it hit the streets within the next couple of months?
Certain rules within FIA state that if a vehicle is racing in the Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance Class or LMGTE for short, must have a road legal version and 100 must be built at a minimum.
On top of that, if the Porsche 911 RSR is it utilise a carbon fibre chassis, 300 units have to be pieced together and sold to the general public.
But wait there’s more about the Porsche 911 RSR
Porsche 911 RSR models have their engines placed in a different location compared to other Porsches leading to the German brand having to construct 2,500 units over a 12-month period.
Just to clarify for those who are unsure, instead of having the gearbox in front of the engine, Porsche moved the gearbox behind the motor.
Porsche have two paths to follow here, either they build street-legal 911 RSR models for a select few to enjoy and for the rest to drool over, or they submit an exemption form to FIA.
On the other hand, if Porsche wasn’t such a large and thriving automotive company, they would only have to build 25 models instead.
Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that they will indeed hit Shaikh Zayed road in the next coming months.
