New Zealand Classic Car has got Le Mans covered

10 June, 2015

As the world’s longest-running endurance racing event, the 24 Hours of Le Mans bears a prestige that can’t be matched. This year’s running of the event, held over the weekend of June 13–14, will once again see Circuit de la Sarthe taken over by the cutting edge of automotive design and technology.

We will be publishing coverage of the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans in our upcoming issue of New Zealand Classic Car Issue No. 295, on sale June 29. In the meantime, we’ve got a gallery and a video, courtesy of the Porsche Team, for you to browse in anticipation of the year’s largest international motorsport event.

The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
