Porsche first showed the 918 RSR at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The car is somewhat of a marriage between their upcoming supercar - the 918 Spyder - and the 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car. Painted in what Porsche calls "liquid metal chrome" blue, the RSR features a carbon fiber-reinforced (CFRP) monocoque, similar to that of the RS Spyder. It's V8 engine is also derived from that of the RS Spyder, putting out about 560 HP at 10,300 RPM.

The next 2 installments of Featured Rides will showcase some incredible Porsches we came across at Rennsport Reunion IV. Although there were some incredible historic racing Porsches at Rennsport, we decided to focus on some of the more modern cars at the event. The Porsche RS Spyder competed in the American Le Mans Series from 2005 to 2010, in the series' LMP2 (Le Mans Prototype 2) category. Its first event was the last race of the 2005 season, at Laguna Seca, where it won its class. Click below to read more about this car's fabulous racing history.

To help kick off our "Featured Rides" section here on Sub5Zero, we decided to do something a bit different than what you would expect. In the future, this section of the site will showcase cars, bikes, etc. we feel deserve a bit of special attention. We'll feature unique rides we come across at events Sub5Zero covers, at races we attend or even something we run across in the local shopping mall parking lot. Today we wanted to give you a bit of insight into what we think is one of the most incredible race cars we've seen in person - Aston Martin Racing's Lola-Aston Martin B09/60.
