SebC selects in the Race Car category, the Porsche 917, which in 917K form set a record for the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1971 that stands today. The 917/30 entered in the 1973 Can-Am series had 1580 horsepower and is the most powerful "sports car racer" ever (I'm assuming that excludes dragsters).

In the 60s category, SebC selects the Ferrari 250 GTO. Le Mans rules were that you had to build 100 cars to enter it, but somehow Ferrari got away with only 39.
