Porsche celebrates 70th anniversary with iconic designs for Le Mans
Porsche will field two special Porsche 911 RSRs at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship Super Season.
The LMGTE Pro entries No.91 and 92 will compete on 16-17th June sporting the traditional Le Mans liveries of the 1970s and 1980s.
The No.91 contender, driven by Gianmaria Bruni (Italy), Richard Lietz (Austria) and Frédéric Makowiecki (France), is decked out in the iconic blue-and-white finish with red and gold stripes, reminiscent of the Rothmans sponsor colours of that era.
The No.92 car, shared by race drivers Kévin Estre (France), Michael Christensen (Denmark) and Laurens Vanthoor (Belgium), harks back to the Porsche 917/20 that tackled Le Mans in 1971.
The Porsche GT Team’s pit garage is also carrying a ‘retro’ livery for the 70th year of Porsche sports cars.
