  • Porsche's 1987 Le Mans-winning 962

    In the early 1980s, Porsche all but dominated sports car and endurance racing with a pair of Norbert Singer-designed cars. In 1982, Porsche launched the 956, which went on to win Le Mans from 1982 through 1985. In 1983, the 956 also set a Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record of 6:11.13, which stands to this day. To meet the regulations of IMSA’s GTP class, Porsche introduced the safer 962 in 1984, and the car became an instant hit with privateer teams. During its seven-year production run, Porsche built a total of 91 962 models, of which only 16 were raced by Porsche itself. The 962...
