The entry-level and stretched versions of the Panamera will represent Porsche’s big debuts for the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. But that’s not all that the German automaker is bringing to the California expo.
Alongside them, Porsche will reveal for the first time its new 911 RSR. Like the new GT3 Cup revealed in Paris, the RSR is a racing version of Porsche’s iconic sports car.
But where the GT3 Cup is designed for the company’s various spec racing series, the RSR is made to dice it with the likes of the Corvette C7.R and BMW M6 GTLM in the GTE racing class that took over from the previous GT2 category five years ago.
The manufacturer has yet to provide any details regarding improvements over the current version to go with this solitary teaser sketch. But you can rest assured that the racing specialists in Zuffenhausen have done their considerable utmost to ensure that the top racing Elfen remains competitive and at the bleeding edge of what the regulations allow.
Following its reveal at the LA show, we can expect the new 911 RSR to hit racing circuits around the world competing in series such as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship, the European Le Mans Series, and the Asian Le Mans Series.
