This car here: PORSCHE 911 GT1 Mods & Tracks for GP4 - Keeping alive the GP4. Unfortunately, the pixel master doesn’t give any details about this “restomod,” so there’s no way of knowing what kind of mechanized pony stable is digitally lurking behind the cockpit. Converting cars GTR2 to GP4 Posted by huskyman49.
A modernized 911 GT1 certainly falls inside the latter category, especially when the upgrades are both sensible and cool.Īs such, this feels more like an update rather than a reinvention, which is kind of a wonderful way of keeping up with contemporary foes but also remembering where it all started. The latter is also the focus of the CGI expert’s latest project, who seems to have finally discovered the perfect balance between outrageous virtual builds and truly enticing CGI marvels.
The one that had marvelous entries such as the Toyota GT-One, Nissan R390 GT1, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, and of course the Porsche 911 GT1. Even a virtual one.Ĭase in point, the pixel master behind the superrenderscars account on social media, might have come up with the perfect contender if one was a motorsport fan of the 1990s GT1 category. And because there are just two of them, some people might feel tempted to add a third rival. Also, for marketing reasons, the engineers were faced with the task of creating a car as similar as possible to the Porsche 911 GT1. After that, the management of Porsche decided to build a completely own car for this class. But unfortunately, the victory in 1995 has taken the McLaren F1 GTR. The naked F1 looks were not an option, after all, so they went for the next best thing. The prototype was based on the Jaguar XJR-14 car. After all, they’re both electrified, but still use conventional gasoline engines – a traditional V12 (Valkyrie) and a state-of-the-art small-displacement V6 (One).īesides, their aerodynamic bodies also make us think they wouldn’t look out of place in GT sports car competitions. In fact, we may be looking at the ultimate swan song of ICE-powered hypercars. Or that many see them as rightful heirs to the vacant throne left by the demise of the “Holy Trinity” of hybrid supercars (Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder). It’s not just the fact that with Formula One-inspired technology they are essentially street-legal race cars. Although Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes-AMG One are both rivals and friends – given the relationship between their manufacturers – we feel their upcoming brawl will be one for the ages.
