Why it matters
The GT1 Strassenversion is the road-legal homologation version of Porsche's Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, effectively a racing prototype with number plates. Only about 20 were built, making it one of the rarest and most extreme road Porsches.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionStrassenversion examples built (RM 2012 says ~25) | 201 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
To homologate the 911 GT1 for GT racing, Porsche had to build road versions. The Strassenversion used a 3,164 cc twin-turbocharged flat-six (Type M96/83) with Bosch Motronic injection, rated at 544 bhp at 7,000 rpm, driving through a six-speed transaxle with limited-slip differential. It shared the racer's double-wishbone suspension and was fitted with ventilated, cross-drilled Brembo discs.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
Street-version chassis numbers 001 to 003 have round 993-style headlights, while numbers 004 to 022 have the later 996-style headlights. Compared with the Evo race car, the street version has a higher ride height, a slightly softer suspension, road-oriented gear ratios, a milder engine tune, upholstered sport seats, carpet and a trimmed dashboard borrowed from the 993. The body is mainly carbon fibre.
