Porsche sends two 911 Turbo S as security vehicles on a tripprint

Porsche continues to equip the FIA World Endurance Championship WEC with safety cars. In the 2022 season, which starts next weekend in Sebring (USA), the new safety vehicles based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S will be used for the first time. The 478 kW (650 hp) 911 sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 330 km/h. For use as a safety car in the FIA WEC, the sports car from Weissach has been extensively equipped with data and transmission technology, as well as a light signal system and two additional monitors in the cockpit.

Two new safety cars in the familiar black and red design are available at all WEC season rounds. Special rules only apply to the 24 Hours of Le Mans due to the particularly long distance of 13.623 kilometers: there, if necessary, several safety cars are deployed at the same time. For this event, which is the highlight of the year in the Endurance World Championship in June, Manthey is preparing three additional Porsche 911 Turbo S accordingly. "The provision of the safety cars is one aspect of the trusting cooperation with the FIA WEC organization and the Le Mans organizer ACO," says Alexander Stehlig, Head of Factory Motorsport FIA WEC. “We are delighted that, starting this year, we will be seeing the extremely powerful and fast 911 Turbo S for on-track deployments in the event of incidents. The new vehicles for the ACO will be delivered to France in the coming weeks. Your first assignment at the Sarthe is scheduled for 16/17. April at the 24-hour race for motorcycles on the program.
