First unveiled over 10-years-ago, this Porsche 919 Hybrid has won several Le Mans races, most notably taking first place in the 2015, 2016, and 2017 championships. The owner of this example decided to transform it into the F.A.T. 919 Snowcat, a giant tracked vehicle that would be perfect for the Austrian Alps.
The Porsche 919 Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter, 90-degree V4 mid-mounted turbocharged engine generating 500 horsepower, paired with an electric motor making 402 horsepower, for a combined output of 900 horsepower. That may not sound like much, or at least when compared to modern hypercars, but keep in mind that this race car weighs in at just 1,929 pounds without fuel.

Each and every one of the nine endurance races presents a challenge. Reliability is the basic requirement; six hours of navigating around the many cars in the different categories, each driving at different speeds, makes each race unpredictable – and ultimately it is often only seconds that separate the winner from the rest of the field,” said Fritz Enzinger, Vice President LMP.
