Porsche 962 C '88
Porsche's 962 C '88 represents the pinnacle of Group C prototype racing, featuring a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine paired with a featherweight 850 kg chassis that demands precision and smooth inputs through high-speed corners. Its rear-wheel-drive layout and extreme power delivery make it exceptionally challenging on tight circuits but rewarding on flowing racetracks like Le Mans or Spa, where committed drivers can exploit its aggressive acceleration and high-speed stability. Built for endurance racing's golden age, this machine excels in longer Gr.1 events where its legendary reliability and raw pace can separate skilled competitors from the field.
