A 1987 Porsche 962C that Kremer Racing built based on the OEM chassis will go on sale in a month set to sell for U.S. $850,000–1,000,000. Only 11 units were made, and this one took part in 24 Hours of Le Mans twice – although without any successes to report.
The model was a successor-of-sorts to the Porsche 956. It is believed that the company assembled 91 chasses and handed over 75 to private teams. Some of these, including Kremer Racing, decided to modify the original design for their needs. This particular project involved replacing many of the aluminum parts with carbon-fiber ones for increased rigidity, among other things.
The racer hit the Le Mans race in 1987 and 1988 and finished 4th and 8th in the overall standing, respectively. It had a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine that could rev up to 8,100 RPM and output around 750 PS (740 hp / 552 kW). A five-speed manual transmission carried the torque to the back.
The listing doesn’t mention the condition of the car. Four years ago, it was sold for $1,022,500 at the same auction.
