SANTA ANA, Calif. – June 28 – Porsche Motorsport North America, Inc., in conjunction with Brumos Racing, the motorsports division of Brumos Porsche in Jacksonville, Florida, will offer a special edition of five 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars to commemorate its 2011 Rolex GRAND-AM GT championship.

The 911 GT3 Cup car, the most successful production-based race car in history, races in dozens of professional sports car series and one-make cup competitions all over the world, including the Rolex GRAND-AM Sports Car series, where the car has won multiple championships.

These five cars, which will be the last five 911 GT3 Cup cars with North American specification produced for the 2012 model year, will feature the 4.0 liter racing engine, which Porsche Motorsport North America builds exclusively for Grand-Am teams. The cars, which will be eligible to race in SCCA, Porsche Club of America, Porsche Owners Club and other similar competition, will feature the famous Brumos livery and other exclusive Brumos-only touches. Porsche Motorsport will upgrade the standard Cup car engine to Grand-Am
spec, with more than 450 horsepower, which offers higher performance through additional torque, and add other features such as brake and wheel steering sensors, a “blipper” system for easier down-shifting, and Motec data acquisition system with predictive lap timing information and other function monitoring. These five cars will feature an exclusive model identification badge on the rear deck “911 GT3 Cup 4.0,” and a chassis ID plaque with full vehicle name and complete VIN number.

...This is the first time that Porsche Motorsport North America has offered a special limited edition of a race car, and, with the
featured strong four liter engine racing engine and the exclusive Brumos detailed features, the happy owners of these cars will have a lot
of fun at the track with the unique and beautiful cars,” said Jens Walther, president of Porsche Motorsport North America, Inc.

The Five racers will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity from Porsche Motorsport North America in a special ceremony including dinner with Hurley Haywood, Leh Keen and Andrew Davis at the Brumos AutoWerks & Collection in Jacksonville.

...The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 4.0 Brumos Commemorative Edition cars will retail for $265,259 (plus applicable taxes) , and will come with a long list of Brumos-installed special features that include a carbon dead pedal, carbon floorboard under the pedals, carbon dash panel for the Motec display, digishield cover for the front bumper and hood, front debris screens, polished rear wing uprights, and special Brumos livery and paint.
