Talking about the 24 Hours of Le Mans is talking about Porsche. That's why the Stuttgart brand has now wanted to honor some of the cars that have contributed to the manufacturer's rich sporting heritage in the most mythical endurance race in the world. Namely, reproducing the decoration of the most outstanding models, through the Macan.
The most likely candidate would be the Porsche 911, but the impact would not be the same. Therefore, it was the brand's best-selling SUV that took on that role.
The Macan dressed in the unforgettable colors of the tobacco brand Rothmans, which decorated the Porsche 956 which won the 50th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1982, and which also managed to make a round of the Nürburgring in just 6m11,13s .Homage to the Porsche 917/20 that participated in the 1971 edition of Le Mans, with a body decorated with the typical cuts that butchers use to cut up a pig. It went down in history as the “Pink Rose”…Without a doubt, the decoration of the Gulf, of the North American company in the oil industry, which gained fame in motor sports, decorating the Porsche 917 that won Le Mans in the 1970s and 1971 is less controversial.The no less famous decoration of Martini Racing, which, also during the 70s, embellished several racing Porsches. Starting with one of the 917 that competed at Le Mans, in 1971, and then the 936 that also won the French race, in 1976 and 1977. Not to mention the triumphs in many other competitions, with the RSR Turbo and the 935.Finally, as the fifth and final decoration, the red and white clothing made famous by the Porsche 917 KH which, in 1970 and with the Hans Hermann/Richard Attwood duo at the wheel, achieved the German brand's first victory at Le Mans. The first of 19 triumphs.
