It’s big, it’s brash, and it’s fast – it’s the medical car for this year’s V8 Supercars Championship , a new Porsche Cayenne GTS,  plastered with heritage posters acclaiming the successes of the Porsche 911 as that iconic nameplate reaches its 50th year.
The Cayenne GTS will transport the chief medical officer, medical staff and their equipment at all V8 Supercars and Porsche Carrera Cup events as the first response vehicle to serious on-track crashes.
“The skinning of the Cayenne Medical Car for the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship is certainly a creative way of paying tribute to the 911 icon”, says Greg Clarke, General Manager of Porsche New Zealand.
The eye-catching 309kW/515Nm 4.8-litre V8-powered Cayenne GTS replaces the Porsche Panamera previously tasked with Medical Car responsibilities in last year’s V8 Supercars event in Hamilton. The Cayenne will transport the Chief Medical Officer, medical staff and medical equipment as the first response vehicle to serious on-track incidents.
The car will make its New Zealand debut at the ITM 400 round of the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship to be held at the Pukekohe Park Raceway April 12-14.
