An Exciting Tribute To Porsche's Endurance Legend

Porsche 962 Homage - Race Car

Recognized by racing enthusiasts worldwide as a game-changing marvel of motorsports engineering, the incomparable 962 remains one of the most successful race cars of all time. With its iconic design and wind-tunnel derived aerodynamics, these monstrously fast cars dominated international Endurance Sports Car racing, World Sportscar Championship Group C, IMSA, and GTP class racing. Drivers who braved the power and tamed the cornering forces included legends like A.J. Foyt, Hans Stuck, Jackie Ickx, Al Holbert, and Hurley Haywood, piloting their cars to victories including consecutive first place wins at Le Mans year after year in the 1980s.

This Porsche 962 is an homage to the original period-built factory race cars assembled for competition from the mid to late 1980s. The build for this car began approximately fifteen years ago with construction beginning at Gunnar Racing, Porsche racecar builders and vintage racing specialists, on request from a private client. Under the guidance of Kevin Jeanette, the project began with the Gunnar team constructing a custom fabricated tubular chassis incorporating a series of 962 suspension components(suspension arms and uprights), and a 962 front bulkhead. Creatively, a Porsche 993 Cup rear subframe was utilized and fitted with Penske shocks, taking advantage of the model’s advanced multi-link rear suspension geometry.

The 962 bodywork was reportedly sourced from a variety of suppliers including the front section supplied by Jeanette, which is believed to have been formerly mounted to Stefan Bellof’s factory campaigned Porsche 962 team car. The 962C-spec rear portion was supplied from a non-specified European team while the center portion and forward hinging doors were molded in fiberglass using former Porsche factory 962 tooling. Additionally, the single seat, fiberglass dash, and side pods are reportedly period 962 parts sourced from reputable suppliers during the build.

This intriguing track weapon is now ready for immediate acquisition and use.
