The name originated from the famous Carrera Panamericana Mexican road race, which Porsche won in the mid-50s. The factory wanted to commemorate this success by naming the new performance version they intended for homologation. It was easily the lightest and fastest 911 up to date and a perfect racing car to conquer the world’s racing scene. Porsche needed 500 examples, but since the car was so good, they built 1,580 copies. All of them are highly sought-after collector cars today with extremely high price tags.
