Let a Porsche 962C educate you in Group C goodness.
Porsche began development of the 962 in response to the 956’s inability to participate in North America’s IMSA GTP series. That ban from the Americans had come as a result of the driver’s feet sitting ahead of the front axle line inside of the 956, which was allowed in Group C in Europe but barred Stateside. As such, the automaker began to rework the 956’s aluminum monocoque to support an effort across the Atlantic.
This chassis work, new safety structure, and further development would ultimately extend the era of the Porsche’s prototype dominance with the 962 and 962C’s introduction in 1984. The car retained a 2.65-liter twin-turbocharged Type 935 flat-six in Group C, but GTP racers received a single-turbo variant of the engine.An Andial-supplied 3.2-liter engine would arrive in GTP for 1985, while European teams would see 2.8, 3.0 and 3.2-liter variants of the flat-six with twin turbos throughout the run.
