You strength think today that Porsche is firmly ensconced in the Volkswagen Group family, challenging Audi for coverall conclusion at Le Mans isn't on the to-do list. Apparently, you would wrong. With 16 coverall victories, Porsche has more wins at Le Mans than some other manufacturer. However, patch Porsches hit continued to do substantially in GT, the marque's terminal coverall conclusion came in 1998. Plans to physique a image primeval this decade were abandoned, though the V10 engine matured for it eventually found its artefact into the Carrera GT.
New Porsche CEO archangel Macht evidently wants more coverall victories, and patch Volkswagen module soon control Porsche, kinsfolk member Ferdinand Piech is chairman of VW's supervisory board. With the resources of the assemble available, Porsche could amend a new automobile to go for sort one. No timetable has been given, but this actually wouldn't be the prototypal time that there has been an interior battle at Le Mans. Earlier in the decade, Bentley also ran a image coupe based on the Audi R8.
With the welfare in promoting alternatives like diesel at Le Mans and Porsche soon to entry a hybrid, a image with a similar system is not beyond the demesne of possibility.
