This is the Porsche 919 EVO. It\u2019s what you get when you take a Le Mans-winning prototype and rip up the rulebook. In 2018, Porsche set it\u2019s engineers a single goal – make a car go faster than anything else.<\/p>\n
But how did Porsche make the 919 faster than even the latest F1 cars? What rules did Porsche need to ignore to turn an LMP1 car into a machine capable of being the fastest car ever to lap the Nurburgring? <\/p>\n
The Porsche 919 was a dominant machine in the World Endurance Championship\u2019s LMP1 category, winning 17 of the 33 races it took part in and winning three championships in a row from 2015 to 2017. <\/p>\n
It was a truly ground-breaking car, with an astonishingly efficient V4 engine and one of the most advanced hybrid systems ever. <\/p>\n
After winning Le Mans three times over, the time came for Porsche to retire the 919 and with that, their LMP1 campaign. So Porsche looked for a way to give it the send-off it deserved.<\/p>\n
