What’s under those Louvers? Mid Engined 911 RSR -Who would’ve ever thought Porsche would move the engine in front of the rear axle on the already proven 911 Platform. Of course only for GTLM reasons, and the competition it was going against. Another reason was also to accommodate a larger rear diffuser that was recently allowed for GTE-spec race cars. That BIG diffuser now sits where the bottom of the 911's rear engine usually sits. The front aero was also changed to balance out the car, while the rear wing moved to a top-mounted design. According to Porsche this entire change and setup allowed the car to generate more downforce then it has ever been, and give an extension on tire life. Some may say this is against the code, and not a true 911, and others will ask why they didn’t use a GT Cayman Version? But it’s because if they’re racing, it has to be a 911, nothing else. Interestingly enough the design team, and engineers have actually been talking and reviewing this mid-engine setup for some time. So nothing new to them, but for some of us. The question I have, will they ever make a Mid-Engine Porsche 911 for the Street? 🤔 #timewillonlytell Event: @toyotagplb 🇺🇸 Photo: @motolyric ™️📷 #racingneverstops #porsche #thereisnosubstitute #loyaltothecrest #911cooled #motolyric #racinghelmetclub #motorsportphotography #porsche911 #porsche911rsr (at Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach)
