Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig," 1971. A one-off prototype created by Porsche in collaboration with French aerodynamics specialist SERA (Société d’Études et de Réalisations Automobiles), designed by Robert Choulet. As well as its wider track, the 917/20 was designed to combine the strengths of the 917K (short tail) and 917LH (long tail) models in order to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics. The result was a vehicle with an unusually wide and rounded body. The front lip was short and stubby and reminded some of the snout of a pig. It debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans test race in April 1971, and went on to the main 24 Hours of Le Mans race which it failed to finish after a brake failure. It never raced again but the car's extraordinary livery has lived on, being used on a Porsche 911 RSR at the 2018 24h of Le Mans – which won the GTE Pro category

IMSA Indy Test
Porsche Penske Motorsports – Porsche 963 Testing is an essential part of auto racing, and there are many reasons why teams do it. Baring any unforeseen problems, most testing is done in the off season. However if you are moving to new equipment, and it is late in arriving, you could find yourself behind the eight ball compared to other teams. But these are not the only reasons for testing, and…

Acura Integra Type S HRC Concept, 2024. Developed by Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) in California and presented at Monterey Car Week, a track focused version of the Integra. Weight has been reduced nearly 200lbs thanks to the use of carbon fibre and removal of the air-conditioning and rear seats. There's increased downforce and improved aerodynamics based on the Integra Type S TCX race car in addition to a larger intercooler, twin oil coolers and a tuned, lightweight cat-back exhaust system. All of this previews a "potential" range of HRC accessories for Integra Type S
