The Porsche 956 was built by the German manufacturer in 1982 to participate in the World Sport-Prototype Championship in the new Group C category. The “956” was a radical revolution compared to the previous Porsche 936, which won several competitions between 1976 and 1981. Porsche to comply with the new championship’s regulations introduced on the new “956” several technical innovations, such as aerodynamic solutions and the aluminum monocoque chassis. The engine was a reliable 2,650 cm3, 6-cylinder turbocharged engine able to release 635 hp. The Porsche 956 has proven to be an effective and successful sport car, winning several Sport-Prototype Championships and four editions of the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s oldest sport car race in endurance racing.
