The 911 GT1, developed by Porsche for works and customer use in GT motorsport, makes its racing début in 1996. It features the first only water-cooled mid-engine, which ensures a balanced axle-load distribution. In 1998, Porsche launches an overhauled version of the 911 GT1, featuring the first carbon fibre chassis to be used by Porsche. The vehicle shown is used by Team Zakspeed in the FIA GT World Championship in 1998.
