The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the most prestigious races in the world, and Porsche had been working hard to make a competitive car for the 2017 race. The Porsche 919 hybrid was powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged V4 engine, which was supplemented by an electric motor. This hybrid powertrain allowed the car to run for longer periods at higher speeds, and the car was also very efficient. The car was also the first to use a “push-to-pass” system, which allowed the drivers to have an extra boost of power when they needed it.
