Porsche’s 5,000th Cup 911 car to be fielded in 2023 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup

Porsche announced that its 5,000th Cup 911 car will be fielded in the 2023 season of the Mobil 1 Supercup.

For the uninitiated, Porsche 911 Cup cars are used for the brand’s one-make race. It started with the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland in 1990 and continues to this day.

“Since the debut of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland in April 1990, the Porsche one-make cups have evolved remarkably. This season, the number has increased to 34 series worldwide — and almost all rely on the latest 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. This success was largely due to our customer teams, to whom I owe a special thank you,” said Porsche Motorsport Sales Director Michael Dreiser.

According to Porsche, its 5,000th Cup 911 car will wear a special livery, which will help distinguish the special automobile from 30 other race cars in the event.

“More than 5,000 Cup 911s — this impressive figure symbolizes the huge success of our worldwide Porsche one-make cups like no other. It also stands for the high level of popularity that Porsche enjoys among teams, racing professionals, young drivers, and amateur racers around the world. No other Porsche racing car has been produced in such large numbers or raced more frequently,” commented Porsche Motorsport Sales Manager of One-Make Series and GT Sport Oliver Köppen.
