The Book on the Porsche 911 GT1 by Stefan Bogner
A 911 with a mid-engine layout
The GT1 regulations of the 1990s required a road-going version of every race car. Porsche solved this challenge in its own way. The front end was based on the production 911, but the water-cooled six-cylinder biturbo engine was mounted in front of the rear axle. This is how the first mid-engine 911 was born.
In its debut at Le Mans in 1996, two GT1s finished in second and third place. The next evolutionary step followed in 1997. For 1998, the car was fitted with a carbon-fiber monocoque; five units were built in Weissach. On June 7, 1998, Allan McNish, Laurent Aïello, and Stéphane Ortelli won the 24-hour race, with the second factory car crossing the finish line right behind them. It was Porsche’s 16th overall victory at Le Mans, in the year the brand celebrated 50 years of sports car manufacturing.
The book traces this evolution, separating images from text. The photo volume features the surviving vehicles in new photographs by Stefan Bogner, supplemented by rare material from the Porsche archives. The text volume provides background information on their development and racing history.
Stefan Bogner is a photographer, co-founder of the Munich-based design agency fpm, and editor of Curves. Heike Hientzsch has worked for many years on Porsche’s press staff.
A book about a race car of which only a few exist, published in a limited edition.
