To celebrate its 2011 Rolex Grand-Am GT championship, Brumos Racing has teamed up with Porsche Motorsport North America to offer five limited edition 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars.

Even more special, these are the last five 911 GT3 Cup cars with North American specification produced for the 2012 model year, featuring a 4.0-liter race engine built by Porsche, exclusively for Grand-Am teams. Owners of the GT3 Cup cars can race in a variety of motorsport events including SCCA, Porsche Club of America, Porsche Owners Club, and other similar competitions.

Each car will feature the famous Brumos livery along with other Brumos-only touches. Over 450-hp will be provided from the Porsche-tuned powerplant, and each car will sport an exclusive model identification badge on the rear deck stating “911 GT3 Cup 4.0.”

The buyers will also get to attend a special ceremony that includes dinner with Hurley Haywood, Leh Keen, and Andrew Davis at the Brumos AutoWerks & Collection in Jacksonville. Retail pricing for the Commemorative Edition Brumos 911 GT3 Cup Car will start at $265,259 plus any applicable taxes.

“The partnership between Brumos Racing and Porsche Motorsport goes back many decades, and we are proud and honored that Brumos is celebrating their successful 2011 comeback into GT racing with a commemorative championship edition of our 911 Cup race car. This is the first time that Porsche Motorsport North America has offered a special limited edition of a race car, and, with the featured strong four liter engine racing engine and the exclusive Brumos detailed features, the happy owners of these cars will have a lot of fun at the track with the unique and beautiful cars,” said Jens Walther, president of Porsche Motorsport North America, Inc.
