Porsche 956-962 - The Legendary Race Winners

 

Porsche 956 and 962 - these model designations hide the most successful racing sports cars in history. In 1982, Porsche participated in the Type 956 for the first time with a revolutionary aerodynamic concept for sports cars and a turbo engine. Its successor, the 962, followed in 1984. Most recently powered by up to 800 horsepower, the sports cars amassed countless successes over more than a decade.

Seven overall victories at Le Mans, ten triumphs over the endurance classics at Daytona and Sebring, four IMSA championships in the US and five world drivers' championships were won by these fascinating race cars, which reached speeds of up to 380 kilometers per hour.

In collaboration with the makers of the 956/962, a team of international trade journalists has made a unique documentary that seamlessly presents all race cars, all winners, teams and the people behind the facts. Porsche engineers themselves explain the fascinating technology of their vehicles.

More than 1000 photos and illustrations, plus the illustrations of all 88 Porsche victory posters, a list of all factory and customer chassis and complete statistics make this book a luxurious and indispensable reference work.
