Porsche should have revived the 911 GT1 Straßenversion.

Kinja'd!!!

Reasoning:

If you follow IMSA/WEC you’re aware that the current 911 racer has moved to a mid engined layout, which obviously isn’t shared with the production car. The last time Porsche made a mid engined 911 it was the GT1. Instead of just tacking a body kit onto a GT2 RS, Porsche should’ve taken their actual racing tech and built a street car. Sure, use the GT2 RS motor, but actually do something interesting/innovative instead of letting the marketing department look at pictures of old race cars.

On a more fun note, I passed my first ARE today. So I’m that much closer to becoming a licensed Architect.

Interesting idea. . . from the layout point of view . I n my opinion the GT1 was not e x a c t l y a looker .

In my opinion the new 935 is not a looker. (The original race cars were though)

Of course not. I t looks c u t e s y , like a toy .

I love the the early ones with the twin stacked/offset headlights in the front dam . . . and the 935/78. I s t i l l r e m e m b e r t h e f i r s t o f f i c i a l p h o t o s o f M o b y D i c k during sha k e d o w n t e s t s , w i t h t h e e x t r a f a i r i n g o n t h e d o o r s (and b e f o r e t h e y a p p l i e d t h e M a r t i n i l i v e r y) . I t w a s astonishing.

The rest, not so much .
