In the early 1970s, Porsche faced increased competition and new engine displacement regulations in endurance racing

Legendary Porsche engineer Nobert Singer shares his insights about the origins of Turbocharging in the German brand's race car history

Porsche developed the 917/10, a naturally aspirated sports prototype with a 5.0-liter flat-12 engine

In 1972, Porsche introduced the 917/10 Turbo, equipped with twin KKK turbochargers, generating over 1,150 horsepower dominated in the Can-Am Series

Porsche focused on overcoming challenges like turbo lag and improving throttle response

Porsche developed advanced aerodynamics with rear wings and body kits to maximize downforce while minimizing drag

Next to feature in the film was the 911 Carrera RSR Turbo, which packed a downsized 2.1-liter flat-six engine with turbocharging technology and 500 horsepower on tap

The main focus of the 911 Carrera RSR Turbo with that downsized flat-six engine was on improving fuel economy and efficiency for endurance races like Le Mans

This was the car that laid the foundation for future generations of turbocharged Porsche sports cars, including the iconic 930 Turbo and modern 911 Turbo models

The third and final car that featured in the film was the Porsche 936 finished in the iconic Martini livery

In 1976, Porsche introduced the 936, a Group 6 race car with a turbocharged 2.1-liter flat-six engine, becoming the first turbocharged car to win Le Mans

Porsche's motorsport legacy is deeply intertwined with its racing history and Turbocharging. To catch Norbert Singer's insights about the origins of the Turbo story, swipe up.

These spy shots by CarSpyMedia show a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, which is a collaboration between Porsche and Manthey Racing, aimed at enhancing the performance of the standard GT3 RS

The MR features aggressive aerodynamics, including a massive swan-neck rear wing, vortex generators, and a redesigned rear diffuser, to increase downforce and stability

Additional aero enhancements include a redesigned front splitter with dive planes, larger canards, and a huge horizontal fin replacing the rear window

Manthey is also likely to offer adjustable coil over suspension for better adjustability

Lightweight magnesium wheels with aero discs upgraded brakes and braided lines

The MR is expected to significantly improve the GT3 RS's lap times on the track

But it won't be eligible for official Nürburgring records for a production car, due to being an aftermarket kit

The Manthey Performance Kit for the 911 GT3 is expected to be more expensive than the existing kit for the standard GT3's $60,500 asking price

While the MR is a track-focused machine, it remains to be seen how many GT3 RS owners will actually take advantage of its extreme capabilities

Given that the car in the spy shots looks production-ready, the official announcement should be soon.

What if Porsche could diversify its product lineup with a dune buggy?

Sister-brand, Audi has already demonstrated the feasibility of electric dune buggies with the RS Q e-Tron

AI-generated images with signature Porsche design elemensts, provide a glimpse into the potential design of a Porsche dune buggy

The off-road capabilities would warrant the need for massive ground clearance, heavy-duty suspension, and knobby tires

Potential powertrain options could be a powerful 2.0-liter flat-four from the base Boxster

Or an advanced electric powertrain similar to the RS Q e-Tron, that packs 671 horsepower

Weight reduction would be crucial to optimize performance and efficiency

A Porsche dune / Baja-style buggy could potentially compete with other high-performance off-road vehicles

Just like Audi, a vehicle like this could contribute to Porsche's sustainability efforts by offering electrified powertrains

Audi won the 2024 Dakar at the hands of Carlos Sainz Senior

Could Porsche follow suit and return to Dakar and once again dominate this grueling race, like it did back in the 1980s?
