Porsche holds an enviable record at Le Mans, with 19 overall victories since 1951. Iconic models like the 917, 956, and 919 Hybrid have defined endurance racing. Innovations from the track turn up on Porsche's road cars.
In 2025, Porsche is targeting its 20th overall win, with the Porsche Penske Motorsport team fielding three Porsche 963 hybrid prototypes and a fourth entered by Proton Competition. Manthey Racing will also represent Porsche in the LMGT3 class with three 911GT3 R entrants.
Special Announcement:
Porsche has unveiled the new 963 RSP, a road-going version of its Hypercar, as the team prepares for this weekend's race.
Kiwi Connection:
New Zealanders Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber, both former Porsche factory drivers and Le Mans winners in the 919 Hybrid, are competing this year for non-Porsche teams, continuing the proud Kiwi tradition at Le Mans.
