5,000th Cup 911 features in the Porsche Supercup as the VIP vehicle
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
At the end of November 2022, the 5,000th one-make cup #racing car based on the #porsche 911 rolled off the #porsche assembly line in Zuffenhausen. It all began in 1990 with the vehicles built for the #porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland. Since then, the Cup 911 has evolved into one of the most widely produced #racing vehicles in the world. The anniversary model will be campaigned in the 2023 season of the #porsche Mobil 1 Supercup: #porsche Motorsport offers the 375 kW (510 PS) #porsche 911 GT3 Cup to prominent guest drivers at selected races.
Stuttgart. The tradition of #racing a VIP car in the #porsche Supercup is long. For the 2023 season, a very special #porsche 911 GT3 Cup will be helmed by famous guest drivers at selected rounds of the international one-make cup: the 5,000th #racing car based on a #porsche 911 built for the one-make cup. To commemorate this, the No. 911 car will be decked out in a special livery, which distinguishes it from the field of around 30 other #racing cars in the #porsche Mobil1 Supercup.
"More than 5,000 Cup 911s – this impressive figure symbolises the huge success of our worldwide #porsche one-make cups like no other. It also stands for the high level of popularity that #porsche enjoys among teams, #racing professionals, young drivers and amateur racers around the world. No other #porsche #racing car has been produced in such large numbers or raced more frequently," comments Oliver Köppen, Manager One-Make Series and GT Sport, #porsche Motorsport Sales.
What began in 1990 with the first Cup 911 in the #porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland has now turned into a success story with a total of 34 Porsche-approved one-make cup series contested around the world. Over the decades, the Cup concept spread from the Development Centre in Weissach to almost every continent. #porsche Carrera Cups are currently run in Europe, America, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. The international #porsche Supercup has been at the pinnacle since 1993. For the 2023 season, the Supercup is contested at eight European Formula 1 weekends as part of the support programme.
"Since the debut of the #porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland in April 1990, the #porsche one-make cups have evolved remarkably. This season, the number has increased to 34 series worldwide – and almost all rely on the latest 992-generation #porsche 911 GT3 Cup. This success was largely due to our customer teams, to whom I owe a special thank you," emphasises Michael Dreiser, Director Sales #porsche Motorsport.
From series production to thoroughbred GT #racing car
In 1990, the strategy behind the #porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland was clear: technology from series production should prove itself on the racetrack, and the manufacturing of all Cup cars was centralised at #porsche. The #porsche 911 Carrera RS (generation 964) served as the basis. It was only slightly modified for the one-make cup series by way of safety equipment, a sports suspension #racing and an exhaust system.
However, with the introduction of increasingly comprehensive safety regulations and the internationalisation of the one-make cup concept, the Cup 911 underwent a transformation into a thoroughbred #racing car from one model generation to the next. Accordingly, the current #porsche 911 GT3 Cup (model series 992) includes features such as a computer-aided safety cell, a sequential dog-box transmission with shift paddles on the steering wheel, carbon-fibre body and cockpit components, and a rear wing that can be adjusted in eleven positions.
However, the road-legal GT3 and GT3 Cup racer still share many technical components. For example, the six-cylinder boxer engine is virtually identical, apart from details such as the #racing exhaust system and special engine electronics. The unchanged output of 375 kW (510 PS) means, among other things, that the four-litre naturally aspirated engine does not need to undergo servicing during an entire Supercup or Carrera Cup season.
The global success story of the #porsche one-make cups and the resulting large number of cup cars require an exceptional production process. The #racing cars developed by #porsche Motorsport in Weissach roll off the same assembly line as the 911 production models at the main facility in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. It takes not more than almost eight hours to build a #porsche 911 GT3 Cup – that, too, is a record.
