Porsche Looks Forward to 2012 Season with GT3 Hybrid and RSR

Porsche will continue to race the 911 GT3 R Hybrid in the 2012 season using it as a chance to further develop the car.  The car will still not be available to customer teams, though.

“There is no way around the hybrid technology in motorsport. With the 911 GT3 R Hybrid project, we have shown how you can test important future technologies on the race track and pave the way for motorsport success in the future. We will continue to determinedly blaze this trail and further develop the hybrid technology,” said Wolfgang Hatz, Board Member for Research and Development.

Porsche has also further developed the 911 RSR this year, and that car will debut at the Daytona 24 Hours in the US at the end of January. Customer teams in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans Series, the International GT Open as well as the Le Mans 24 Hours will race the 911 RSR.
