Porsche pays tribute to Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert with modern one-off model
With the 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Jo Siffert, Porsche is paying tribute to the late Swiss racing driver while also commemorating the first victory of the legendary 917 almost 55 years ago. On 10 August 1969, Siffert and Kurt Ahrens won the first international 1,000-kilometre race at the Österreichring near Zeltweg. The experts at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur built the extraordinary one-off as part of the Sonderwunsch programme. Joseph “Jo” Siffert continues to enjoy cult status in Switzerland 50 years after his death. The Fribourg native was an extremely talented, charismatic racing driver. Siffert lived out his passion for motorsport with legendary intensity, contesting 298 races over 11 years.
It was an honor shooting this special car for Porsche Switzerland.
