Schuppan 962CR P1, 1991. Selected as Best in Show at the London Concours. The Schuppan is based on a Porsche 962, the project was to use a Reynard carbonfibre chassis with bodywork styled by Mike Simcoe. The plan didn't work out, and just six cars (including 2 LM models and 2 CRs) were built. This example was the project's prototype and development car, and based on a racing machine that had competed at Le Mans in 1990. It would later enter private ownership, spending some time in France before being brought back to the UK, where it has since been fully refurbished and retrimmed.

💥1992 Schuppan 962CR Prototype💥 A project by Australian racecar driver Vern Schuppan to build a road-going hypercar based on the  Le Mans-winning Porsche 962 race car. A twin-turbo 600hp powered it water-cooled 3.3-litre Type-935 Porsche flat-6 similar to the engine that powered the 962. It was designed by Mike Simcoe (now General Motors' Vice President of Global Design) with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis built by Reynard Motorsport. Priced at $1.5M in 1994, it is among the most expensive vehicles ever sold new. Japanese investors provided funding, but the global economic recession of the early 1990s and the high cost of the car's construction meant that when the financing dried up, Schuppan was forced into bankruptcy. Including the prototype, six cars were built in all, but one was destroyed in a fire. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #conceptcar #conceptcars #prototype #porsche #962 #schuppan #962cr #schuppan962cr #mikesimcoe #vernschuppan 📸/📚: @bingo_international @bingo_japan https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnubop8pFLY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Porsche 962 CR Schuppan
The Schuppan-Porsche 962CR, a road-going version of the Porsche 962, was the brainchild of Porsche factory driver and 1983 Le Mans winner Vern Schuppan and Toshio Terada, Managing Director of Art Sports, the high-performance car import and marketing division of Art Corporation, Japan. ‍ The two had a shared ambition to create the ultimate supercar. Art Sports had the marketing vision and Vern Schuppan Limited (VSL) the capability in design, R & D and manufacturing. The 962CR was a wildly ambitious project, which swallowed millions of dollars of R & D costs before being cruelly struck down by the stock market crash of 1992. As a result, only four of a projected fifty 962 CR chassis were ever produced, and this car was the last produced by Schuppan's original company VSL. ‍ The 962CR featured high tech carbon composite bodywork and moulded monocoque and was fitted with 500hp-plus 962/71 3.2 litre, fully air-cooled twin-turbo engine with catalytic converters and silencers. Transmission is via a racing 962 type 5-speed synchromesh gearbox with limited-slip differential.
From the custom ‘Team Schuppan’ brake callipers to the CRT TV - which display a live feed from the reversing camera - to the leather-trimmed suspension arm gators and headlamp pod surrounds, the 962CR is packed to the brim with fascinating and well-considered detailing and high build quality. The Schuppan 962CR was truly designed to be a usable and luxurious road version of the car that Porsche designed to win Le Mans.  ‍

Daily Forza Car #23: Odd One Out
Tumblr media
Brabham is a pretty well respected manufacturer. As a racing brand, anyway. In terms of road cars, well, they have no real history before this one. And even then, this thing was bred for the track. You gotta send it to England to even have it be road legal, plus once a year to keep it road legal. This is covered by Brabham, thankfully, after you dropped a mil and a half on this fuckin thing. And even then, public streets are no place for a track beast like the BT62, especially with that empty ass interior.
Tumblr media
Enough about turning this thing road legal, though. This is a Brabham, and the performance is built like one. It won the first ever race it entered in 2019, though the very next race it had to retire due to an alternator issue. Still, when those 691 horses blow through the rear wheels, you absolutely feel it, even in Forza. It ain't easy to control the first couple gears, though this is always a problem on keyboard with RWD cars, but this one is notable for a track car.
Tumblr media
Still, it sure as shit is easier to drive than the other two Brabhams that we'll be covering later. I would love to eventually take this thing to an actual track, as it currently only exists within the Forza rendition of Mexico which lacks any real, proper race tracks. It looks damn good pushing through the city streets and tunnels, though. Why it was chosen for the Hot Wheels DLC of all things, though, will absolutely confuse me, but hey, the Schuppan we talked about a couple weeks back was too, so whatever.
