The debut of the new Porsche Indy car has been postponed for two weeks.

A spokesman for Porsche AG in Germany announced Friday that the car, a newly built chassis powered by a new Porsche engine, will make its first race appearance Oct. 11 in the 300-kilometer event at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey.

The car, with four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser driving, was scheduled to run its first race at Pennsylvania International Raceway in Nazareth, Pa., Sept. 20.

One cause for the postponement was a delay in the delivery of wheels for the new car.
