It’s not an exaggeration to say the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a sports car that needs little to no improvement, but that hasn’t stopped 1016 Industries and 9|Design from joining forces to make it that little more special.

However, there may still be a glimmer of hope. “Our assessment process has established that the presence of an 11th team would not, in and of itself, provide value to the Championship,” F1 said in a statement. “While the Andretti name carries some recognition for F1 fans, our research indicates that F1 would bring value to the Andretti brand rather than the other way around.” F1 also cited an expected lack of competitiveness, a lack of commercial value, and other factors as reasons for its decision to deny the team’s application. advertisement scroll to continue Read: Andretti Cadillac Already Developing F1 Car, Despite Not Being Approved Yet The decision follows an earlier announcement from F1’s governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), sayin

Few brands doe sports cars as well as Porsche and while it’s hard to pinpoint its single most important production vehicle, one could make an argument that the 356/2 is it. Were it not for it, Porsche may have never become the brand that it currently is. The first Porsche built came in the form of the 356/1 which had no fixed roof and a mid-mounted flat-four engine. Soon after, Porsche received the necessary funds it needed to bring a sports car into production thanks to a Swiss entrepreneur by the name of Rupprecht von Senger.
