The 2014 round of the 24 Hours of Le Mans starts next weekend, and it will bring Porsche's return to the legendary track. While I haven't seen their latest poster yet, in the meantime, here are the ones from 1970 to 1998.
We shall see what Stuttgart's 919 V4 prototype can do against Toyota's mighty 1,000 horsepower TS040 Hybrid or reigning champion Audi's R18 E-tron quattro, but for now, just enjoy a bit of history and check out these vintage Le Mans posters from Porsche's archives, from 1970-1998, the glory days:
1970: 917
1971: 917K
1976: 936
1977: 936
1979: 935
1981: 936
1983: 956
1985: 956B
1986: 962C
1987: 962C

True story: VW did fire up a 911 GT1 at the Geneva Motor Show's private VW party, and it sounded AWESOME. Really.
