908/3: flat-8, tail fins, and comically small wheels
550 Coupe: Porsche’s first purpose-built race car
The first 911 to win in Motorsport was actually a showroom demo model hastily converted for racing without Porsche’s consent (because they hadn’t finished testing it)
Elva Porsche: so dangerously unstable that it was sold with a list of recommended modifications to make it safer
The Ferrari Dino was quicker, but the Carrera 6 was tougher
A 917 that isn’t painted like a pig or an acid trip
910/6: Porsche’s first Nurburgring champ
904 Carrera GTS
The 904 GTS race cars were fully road legal because Porsche didn’t think they could find 100 customers to buy track-only homologation cars
718 RSK rocking a DeLorean paint job
The 908 LH’s aerodynamics made it so unstable at high speeds that it was near-impossible for someone to safely overtake it!

Carrera GT Speedster: SCCA royalty
And a regular-ass non-racing 356

I love 60's endurance Porsches more than I’m willing to admit

I had no idea until I went to this museum (Revs Institute) how religiously Porsche competed in the under 2.0 liter category for decades. Or how often they not only won 1st in class, but also placed within the top 5 overall despite being severely underpowered.

8/16 redeemed. Job well done.
Also, the way that Speedster envelops its little wheels and tires must give the #stretchpokeslamstance bros absolute fits.

I actually like that Porsche steps out of LMP1 next year, because that’s what they do after winning. Porsche has 19 wins in so many different eras. With the 917, 936, 935(!), 956/962 (well these ones stayed too long), WSC-95, 911 GT1 and 919.
Audi can brag all thay want about their 13 wins, it was spanned on just 15 years with evolutions of the same car in the same category.
