In order to keep up with brands like Chevrolet, Ferrari, and a host of other automotive companies that make racing models, Porsche has come out with its new 911 RSR race car for the 2017 racing season.

Unlike the rear-engine road-worthy 911, Porsche has placed the engine of the 911 RSR in front of the rear axle. The reason the German auto giant made the RSR a mid-engine vehicle was to improve the aerodynamics of the model, giving it a large rear diffuser that pairs with a rear spoiler that was based on the one from Porsche’s 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid race car.

This mid-mounted engine is a 4.0-liter flat-six behemoth that pumps out 510 horsepower. This may not seem too powerful, but Porsche has to limit the output to adhere to the regulations of the events the 911 RSR will race in. The engine is joined to a six-speed sequential gearbox.

Most race cars don’t come with electronic-assisted driver aids, but the 911 RSR does come equipped with a radar-based “Collision Avoid System” that alerts the driver of approaching traffic or possible accidents.

The 911 RSR is built for endurance racing events, such as the aforementioned 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche will debut the special 2017 model at the Daytona 24-hour race this upcoming January. It will make a total of 19 appearances spread out across the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
