However, it was also a bittersweet year for the company as they mourned the loss of Ferry Porsche, who had passed away earlier that year. Dr Porsche was present at the race, witnessing the team's 16th overall victory and celebrating the legacy of his late son.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe winning Porsche was a remarkable machine, powered by a 3.2-litre twin-turbo engine that produced 550 horsepower. The mid-engine layout and lightweight construction, with a total weight of only 970 kilograms, allowed the car to achieve impressive speeds and cornering capabilities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn order to participate in the race, the car had to meet certain road homologation requirements. To fulfill this requirement, Porsche had to build at least one example of the car before the season started to get approved. This made the winning car even more special, as it was one of a kind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe car was also notable for being the first full carbon monocoque built by Porsche. This innovative construction technique allowed for a lighter and more rigid chassis, contributing to the car's exceptional performance. The car's gullwing doors also added to its uniqueness, providing enough space for the driver to get in and out of the car, a feature that was especially important since it had to be homologated for road use as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Automobilist","offers":[{"title":"50 x 70 cm (19 ¾ x 27 ½ in) | Signed","offer_id":49159450231113,"sku":"PROD01004831","price":294.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1584\/1811\/files\/LM100_Porsche-GT1_1998_Signed_Product-Main.jpg?v=1743657824","url":"https:\/\/automobilist.com\/en-ca\/products\/signed-by-allan-mcnish-porsche-911-gt1-24h-le-mans-100th-anniversary-1998","provider":"Automobilist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
