This will be the last race for Hans Herrmann after a long career, and in the end it will also be the greatest triumph ever achieved by the 42-year-old driver. At the wheel of the "race car of the century" - a red Porsche 91 7 short-tail with a 12-cylinder engine delivering 600 hp- Herrmann goes on to win the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans together with Richard Attwood from the UK. However, the race that marked the end of a successful career for Hermann also ushered in a new era of decades-long success for Porsche, as this first overall victory in Le Mans was followed by 15 others between 1971 and 1998. In five weeks, exactly 45 years after that first triumph, Porsche will once again contest the legendary race in Le Mans on June 13 and 14, 2015. This is our second year back in the elite racing class. The cars may have changed over nearly five decades, but the long-term goals remain the same. We want to win again - and with what is perhaps the most technically complex and demanding vehicle that Porsche has ever built: the Porsche 919 Hybrid.
