Porsche 911

The 911 is a sports car marketed by Porsche since the sixties. Its longevity has made it the most iconic Porsche in the brand's history. It has for the most part been a grand tourer, although the original two liter model competed in touring car racing. The original 911 competed in the Trans Am Series, convincing the Sports Car Club of America that it was a sedan because of its back seat (although the seat itself was nigh useless). This allowed Porsche to dominate the under two liter class in the sixties and seventies. The 911 would continue to compete in Trans Am even after becoming a competitor in the IMSA GT Championship. The model would also compete in the American Le Mans Series, IMSA GT's successor. It currently competes in the Pirelli World Challenge and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, IMSA's current series. A special Carrera edition (its name meaning "race" in Spanish) is also available, and has also competed in GT racing. It is named for the Carrera Panamericana cross-country race.
