Porsche 962

The Porsche 962 is a sports prototype racing car designed and built by Porsche to replace the 956. It was introduced at the end of 1984 and replaced the 956 in the IMSA GTP class in 1985 after regulation changes made the older car obsolete, and it also appeared in the World Sportscar Championship Group C category from 1984. Over a career of about ten years the Group C car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, and a derivative, the Dauer 962 Le Mans, won again in 1994. Across various series the 962 scored nineteen constructors championships. Its successor, the WSC-95, appeared at Le Mans in 1996 without factory backing.
