Porsche salutes Jo Siffert

With the 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Jo Siffert, Porsche is paying tribute to the late Swiss racing driver while also commemorating the first victory of the legendary 917 almost 55 years ago. On 10 August 1969, Siffert and Kurt Ahrens won the first international 1,000-kilometre race at the Österreichring near Zeltweg.

This was the first race win for the 917, which was initially considered difficult to drive due to the high speeds and aerodynamics. The experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur built the extraordinary one-off as part of the Sonderwunsch program. The vehicle will go on display at the Swiss Porsche centers in August 2024 before going on to be one of the highlights of the “Auto Zürich” trade fair (7 to 10 November 2024). The buyer will be selected at random from all interested parties.
