Porsche takes another swing at Le Mans glory with V8 hybrid follow up to 919 🏁
Even with just a couple of cars previewed - the BMW M Hybrid V8 and Cadillac Project GTP - the Le Mans Daytona hybrid class of IMSA and WEC for next year is already shaping up to be a great category. Now it’s firmly in must-watch territory with the reveal of this, the Porsche Penske Motorsport 963. Which sort of sounds like a model that should already exist but, rest assured, is a whole new thing.
Painted in the familiar white, red and black Porsche colour scheme, it’s claimed that the 963’s design evokes the 956 and 962 of the 80s. Like any new Porsche , the 963 gets a rear light strip. Rather good it looks, too. Partners familiar to previous Porsche sportscar campaigns including Michelin, Mobil1 and software specialist Ansys are also involved, all of which will be keen to repeat previous successes.
