Porsche and Tag revealed this GT4 RS Panamericana Special at the Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca.
and Tag revealed this GT4 RS Panamericana Special at the Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca, and it’s built as an homage to the Porsche 550 Coupes that raced in the Carrera Panamericana 70 years ago. There were two 550 Coupes that raced across Mexico in that over 2,100-mile rally, and there will be exactly two of these GT4 RS models, as well. One bears the number 154 and the other will be number 152.
So, what’s different about these 718s? Well, the powertrain and all the other important bits are the same as the regular road car, but Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team developed a special appearance for them. It starts with the. Many of the unpainted parts of the GT4 RS are painted here, giving it more of a monotone look. Meanwhile, the big Tag Heuer logo on the hood and on the side blades of the wing are finished in gray.
If you're wondering, why all the Tag Heuer stuff? Well, this is the 60-year anniversary of the Carrera chronograph, and the grueling Carrera Panamericana is what inspired Jack Heuer to make the first Carrera chronograph. Over the years, Porsche and Tag Heuer have been partners on many projects, and this one simply cements the collaboration further.
As for the interior, Porsche uses Guards Red leather and a lot of black-finished anodized aluminum throughout for contrast. The interesting bit about the interior, though, is the Tag Heuer stopwatch module in the center console. The left clock is simply a clock and displays the time. Meanwhile, the right clock is a stopwatch for rally timing. Tag Heuer-themedand logos are used throughout.
Patrick Dempsey will be driving the number 154 car in the first two stages of this year’s Carrera Panamericana, and the number 152 car will be revealed at this very event. This second car will beoff for charity, so someone will be able to own a GT4 RS that looks just like the one you see here.
