Will this beast replicate its old uncle, the successful Porsche 917 super race-car of the 1970’s?
Meet the new Porsche 919 Hybrid. The racing lab of Porsche’s creative visions. It appears in three different liveries and with one clear mission: creating the sports car of the future.
The Porsche 919 Hybrid is a super sports-prototype racing car constructed by the famous German car manufacturer Porsche for use in the Le Mans Prototype 1-Hybrid (LMP1-H) category of the FIA World Endurance Championship for factory-supported hybrid-powered cars.
The 919 is the first sports-prototype built by Porsche since the RS Spyder, the first Porsche sports-prototype to compete in a top category of sportscar racing since the Porsche 911 GT1-98 and Porsche LMP1-98 and the first sports-prototype to be raced by Porsche as a racing team since the Porsche 911 GT1-98 and Porsche LMP1-98.
The Porsche 919 utilizes a 2.0 L four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a battery-based hybrid system. It’s a new car for its second season with approximately 85%–90% new parts while finally bringing the car’s empty weight (no driver, no fuel) to the 870 kg minimum. It has also moved from the 6MJ subclass to the 8MJ subclass.
This super car made its competitive debut at the 2014 6 Hours of Silverstone, the opening round of the 2014 season.
