Dauer 962 Le Mans Super Car

The Dauer 962 Le Mans is a Super Car built by German Jochen Dauer's Dauer Racing, a racing version of this car went on to win the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans with the support of Porsche. Their sole model is based on the legendary Porsche 962 Group C racing car, which is one of the most successful racing cars of all time.  One of the most desirable cars in the world, the Le Mans offers a higher level of performance than a Bugatti Veyron, besides its traction around the corners is also highly respectable.

Dauer Racing (now Dauer Sportwagen) produced the 962 Le Mans from Porsche 962 chassis stripped down for modification. Components of the bodywork were replaced with slightly revised carbon fiber and Kevlar panels. The under tray was replaced with a flat version for better stability at high speeds. A second seat and leather upholstery were installed in the cramped cockpit, as well as a video screen for DVD playback in later years. A small compartment was added to the front of the car to carry luggage. A hydraulic suspension system was also added to meet German ride height requirements for street cars.

The 962 Le Mans uses nearly the same engine as the racing 962: Porsche's water-cooled Type-935 2994 cc Flat-6 with two Kühnle, Kopp und Kausch AG turbochargers. Since the road car did not have to meet racing regulations, the air restrictor was removed allowing for an output of approximately 730 hp (544 kW). The 5-speed racing gearbox was also retained.

The first production car debuted at the 1993 Frankfurt Auto Show. While orders for the cars were taken, Dauer worked with Porsche to develop the two racing cars for the following years 24 Hours of Le Mans. After Dauer's victory, attention returned to the road cars with at least twelve more examples were built over the years. (Text Adapted From: Wikipedia)
