The new engine was a 3996 cm\u00b3 six-cylinders boxer with 24 valves and DOHC that produced 455 hp. Porsche also issued 18\u201d BBS wheels fitted with 12\u201d-wide tires on the front and 13\u201d-wide on the rear. The new huge&nbsp; wheels improved a good deal cornering and traction in general. But maybe the most important improvement was the headlights. The design department (finally!) dropped the ungodly terrible fried-egg&nbsp; style of headlights. Instead, Porsche used elegant round ones, like it\u2019s only proper and decent for a 911. Finally the Earth was spinning around the sun again and happiness returned to the land&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race911\/porsche_911-997_75_02.jpg\" alt=\"GT3 RSR #75\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Le Mans art car = must buy!

It had to abandon the race because it lost a wheel (\ud83d\ude2e) on the 194th lap. Nonetheless, even if it&#8217;s a DNFer, the car is still very special &#8211; it&#8217;s an <em>art car<\/em>.
