The Porsche WSC-95, sometimes called the TWR WSC-95, was a Le Mans Prototype that Tom Walkinshaw Racing originally built and Porsche modified from the Group C Jaguar XJR-14 it was derived from, run by Joest Racing. It was meant for the IMSA World Sportscar Championship, but changed rules led Porsche to cancel that plan. In 1996 Reinhold Joest persuaded Porsche to give the car to his team for Le Mans, paid for a second car, and the pair won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1996 and 1997 without being officially a factory project. Its engine was the 3.0 litre turbocharged Type-935 flat-six, smaller than the 911 GT1 engine and better on fuel. Porsche then upgraded both cars into the LMP1-98 before retiring them. Only two were built.
