********
"The Gt1 racing rules required manufacture of at least one street-legal example of a model intended for racing. In 1996 Porsche built two road-licensed examples of its GT1 racer. Visually, their silhouette and details recalled the 992 model range. Their sheet-steel and carbon-fibre bodies included an intergral roll bar. The water cooled 3.2l twin-turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine yielded 544bhp @ 7200rpm. The double-wishbone pushrod front and rear suspension represented pure-bred racing technology.
