Second Porsche 962 Built by the Factory

The Porsche 962 (also known as the 962C in international competition) was built by Porsche as a replacement for the 956 and designed mainly to comply with IMSA's GTP regulations, which required the drivers feet to be behind the the centerline of the front axle. The 962 was introduced at the end of 1984, and quickly became successful having a remarkably long-lived career, with some examples still proving competitive into the mid-1990s.

Porsche incorporated cutting edge technologies in the 956/962 such as ground effect aerodynamics and a full monocoque chassis. In total, Porsche would produce Fifty Seven 962s and 35 spare tubs between 1984 and 1991. Sixteen were officially used by the factory team, the remainder were sold to customers.

<br />
The 275 Sport model was only produced in two examples, chassis numbers 0030 MT and 0032 MT, both wearing Touring barchetta bodies, and they were subsequently upgraded to 340 engine specifications, i.e. 4.1 litre capacity. They were the first Ferrari sports racing cars to be fitted with the Aurelio Lampredi designed “long block” V12 engine, which had a previously only been used in the monoposto formula cars, like the 375 F1 in which Froilan Gozalez gave Ferrari their first Grand Prix victory in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July 1951.<br />
<br />
Both cars first appeared in the 1950 running of the Mille Miglia, chassis # 0030 MT being driven by Alberto Ascari/Senesio Nicolini, and 0032 MT by Luigi Villoresi/Pasqale Cassani, both cars retired, but not before the latter had led the race. 0032 MT reappeared in the 1951 running, driven by Alberto Ascari/Senesio Nicolini, but once again was a retirement.
