Street legal Porsche 911 GT1 Evolution for sale

A truly unique 1997 Porsche GT1 Evolution is set to hit the auction block and is estimated to fetch anywhere between $2.97M and $3.3M.

Although it doesn’t really look like it, the car can be legally driven on public roads according to RM Sotheby’s which will have it for sale in May at an auction in Monaco. This is actually an ex-racing GT1 Evo converted for street use, therefore it should not be confused with the 911 GT1 Straßenversion that left Porsche’s factory with road-legal status.
