The new limited Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS ‘British
Legends Edition’ honors Richard Attwood, Derek Bell and Nick Tandy for their
wins in 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Porsche is the most successful car maker in the
history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, scoring 19 victories over the years
and with the new ‘British Legends Edition’ pays tribute to the efforts of three
legendary British drivers – Richard Attwood (winner 1970), Derek Bell (winner
1981, 1982, 1986, 1987) and Nick Tandy (winner 2015).
The new limited edition of the 911 GTS was designed
by Porsche Great Britain together with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Each
driver gets honored with a unique spec, identified by the number of their
winning racing car and its colour scheme incorporated into the livery. There’s
also a Union Jack combined with the driver’s signature.
Each car also comes with Alcantara interior trim
-including the steering column casing-, satin-finish black door mirrors, carbon
floor mats with Alcantara edging while customers will be able to choose between
a manual and a PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission as with the standard GTS
models. Each example will be finished by hand in Porsche’s new Exclusive
Manufaktur workshop.
Power comes from a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six
unit, developing 450 hp and 550 Nm of torque, enabling the Carrera 4
GTS to reach 100 km/h from standing in 3.6 seconds when fitted with a PDK
transmission.
