If Porsche ever comes to Gran Turismo, this would be a great addition.

Engine: 3.2 liter flat-six twin turbo

Regulations for the GT1 category stipulated that to be eligible, a total of 25 cars must be built for road use. Porsche developed a fully road-legal version, dubbed "911 GT1Straßenversion", and delivered one in early 1996 to the German government for compliance testing, which it passed. The engine had to be slightly de-tuned to meet European emissions laws, although its 544 PS (400 kW; 537 hp) and dry weight of 1,150 kg (2,535 lb) proved to be more than adequate; the vehicle could accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 308 km/h (191 mph).

The 911 GT1 Strassenversion that is the topic here (which is also the one that's coming to GT7) is actually a 996, not a 993.
Oh! Wait... I think they made a mistake in the thumbnail. The 993 had more rounded headlights
 
Technically it's neither a 993 nor a 996 - they're the same car to the point that most of the 993-headlight 1996 cars were converted into 996-headlight 1997 cars.

At least the GT1-98 was 9R1 rather than a three-digit production car code, and that may have been used for the whole 3-year project.
