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.

We couldn't think of a better way to close out the 2011 season at Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway than with more than 300 racing Porsches from all eras. Laguna Seca hosted Rennsport Reunion IV, the event's first West Coast appearance, on October 14th to 16th. Cars were divided into 8 Groups, featuring examples from all eras, including Speedsters, 917s, 935s, and even modern cars such as the RS Spyders that competed in the American Le Mans Series.
