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.  ‍

Schuppan-Porsche 962 CR

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.
