During year 1939, the original Porsche sports automobile was developed by incorporating 64 road tested Volkswagen Beetle parts. The concept of this legendary brand was profoundly similar to the VW Beetle in that it was an air-cooled rear-engine sports car. The brand became a favorite in racing and rally circles. Each model of this automobile has been given 3 numbers. At the current time, the new racing model is the 911. There are more economical models described as the 912.
As you can imagine, other car manufacturers aren't going to just sit around while Porsche manufactures these beasts. And so, competition became rather stiff. BMW came up with the BMW M3 GTR series of cars, while Ferrari brought out the F430 GT2 from their stable of offerings. What it comes down to, when all is said and done, is how much engineering beauty and muscle each vehicle can be stuffed with. With its history of winning the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1998 with the Porsche 911 GT1, Porsche is able to comfortably hold its head high with the Porsche 911 GT3.
