Well, it's kind of a 993...

Porsche's Facebook page gets all nostalgic with albums from Le Mans in the Early Years, 70s, 80s and 90s. Obviously I gravitated towards the 911 GT1 (1996) photo as it's a 993, albeit on steroids, and some. Well, it's kind of a 993, in fact I just read that it shared the frontal chassis with the 993 but in spite of its name the car actually had very little in common with the 911 of the time, so for homologation purposes a street legal version had to be created, known as the 911 GT1 Straßenversion (Street version) - literally a road-going racing car! How much fun?
