Did you know that despite the popularity of the 911 Carrera in endurance racing, Porsche hasn’t fielded a factory team at the 24 Hours Of Le Mans since 1998? The 2013 911 RSR is set to change all of that, as Porsche will be fielding a full factory team at this year’s 24-hour race, along with a whole season in the World Endurance Championship.
The sheer level of attention for this car is more impressive than in any other Mini I’ve driven. People are intrigued by it, because it’s a serious deviation from a shape that’s become quite familiar over the past decade.
