1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cup – RM Sotheb’s

In order to homologate its 996-generation 911 for FIA GT3 racing, Porsche did far more than strip out all unnecessary luxuries. The cars made use of a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six with dry-sump lubrication that had been plotted out initially for the 962 race car by Hans Mezger. The long-time Porsche engineer’s touch ensured that the engine had gained legendary status for use in the water-cooled 962, and modifications for street ability helped it produce a still healthy 360-plus horsepower, or more than 100 bhp per litre.

El vehículo en detalle

A lowered and buttoned-down suspension along with upsized brakes made the most of the powerful engine, while ultralight wheels and various aerodynamic enhancements improved roadholding even more.

Porsche catered specifically to its enthusiastic base with its Carrera Cup, a single-model series for 996 GT3s such as this one. This particular example was later modified by 3R Racing of Denver, Colorado, for use in the SCCA Speed World Challenge GT Series in the United States.

With Randy Pobst, known to his fans on the track and in American motoring publication Motor Trend as ‘The Rocket’, at the wheel, the car cruised to four victories in the 2002 Speed World Challenge season, making him the driver with the most wins in the series that season.

The modernised version of the 962-based flat-six was later refreshed by Porsche Motorsports North America and then rebuilt in the United Kingdom following its 2016 importation to the British Isles. The engine has not been used since its most extensive rebuild, and this brightly liveried 996 Carrera GT3 Cup car is offered with extensive documentation and stands ready to be enjoyed on circuit or as a testament to Porsche’s motorsports expertise.
