Porsche 911

The 911 is a sports car marketed by Porsche since the sixties. Initially a two liter, it was given larger engines later on. It has become so iconic it is the most recognizable model in the company's history. A "Carrera" model (named for the Spanish word for "race") is also offered.

Motorsport
The 911 has been extremely competitive in motorsport since its introduction. Because of its back seat, it was classified as a sedan and thus competed in the Trans Am Series where it dominated the under two liter class. It went on to become competitive in endurance racing, IMSA, and Trans Am after the series removed its displacement limits. It also continued to compete in IMSA after the series was replaced with the American Le Mans Series and continues to compete in both IMSA and the SCCA to this date. There have also been 911 spec series.

Tribute
The Monterey Historic Automobile Races, a classic car racing event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, tributed the golden anniversary of the 911 with a special "Weissach Cup" race group.
