Toyota 92C-V

The Toyota 92C-V was a prototype racing car that Toyota built as a Group C car and later ran as an LMP car. It raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for three years and also took part in the 1992 season, the final year of the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. The same two cars were used at Le Mans each year under different names and simply updated, with a third chassis used in the Japanese championship. In 1992 the three cars scored four top-three finishes in six Japanese races without a win, and at Le Mans the two cars finished fifth and ninth overall, the only starters in the Group C2 class. The 1993 update, the 93C-V, finished fifth and sixth in a C2 class one-two, and the 1994 version, the 94C-V, ran in the new LMP1 class and finished second overall, one lap behind the winner.
