The 1990's to Present: The Legend Continues

1991 Porsche (Gunnar) 966 : Called either the Porsche 966 or the Gunnar-Porsche 966, this was the first open-cockpit prototype sports car and paved the way for the World Sports Car (WSC) class. Based on a 962 chassis and inspired by the 936, the 966 was built and campaigned by Kevin Jeannette's Gunnar Racing from 1991-93. The car was powered by a 3.2L Porsche twin-turbo flat-six. John Paul drove this car at the 1991 IMSA Miami GP, but failed to finish.
Model by TRUE SCALE 1/43
1992 Porsche (Gunnar) 966: Gunnar Racing built only one car, although it seems like more since it appeared in many different liveries. Brumos Racing entered the car for Sebring in 1992. Hurley Haywood and Bobby Caradine drove the 3.0L single turbo entry in the 12 hour race, failing to finish due to electrical problems. The 966 was not as fast as the Toyota, Nissan and Jaguar competition, but very competitive none the less.
Model by TRUE SCALE 1/43 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S LM: Walter Röhrl, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Hurley Haywood drove the Brumos Racing entry at Sebring in 1993. They finished 7th overall and 1st in class. The 911 Turbo S Le Mans GT was a stripped down, road legal Turbo S for racing, using a smaller 3.2L twin-turbo six-cylinder, producing 475 hp and was the prototype for the 911 GT2. This car was raced at Le Mans in 1993, where it failed to finish and second at Daytona in 1994.

1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup (French Carrera Cup, 1993): Jack Leconte, owner of Larbre Competition entered this Carrera 2 (964) in the French Porsche Carrera Cup series, a single make series that was often a supporting race to touring car and F1 races. The Carrara 2 Cup cars are powered by 3.6L six-cylinder engines, which produce 420 bhp. Like the cars themselves, the engines are assembled by Porsche. Leconte also competed in Porsche Super Cup races and took a class win at Le Mans in 1993.
Model by VITESSE 1/43 1994 Dauer Porsche 962 LM (LE MANS, 1994 - WINNER): Yannick Dalmas, Hurley Haywood and Mauro Baldi drove the Le Mans Porsche Team entry at Le Mans in 1994 to victory. It was the third Le Mans victory for Haywood and he then had wins in three different decades (70's, 80's & 90's). The Dauer 962 LM uses the Porsche 962 chassis and 3.0L twin-turbo six cylinder engine, with revised fiberglass bodywork. It produces over 740 bhp and a top speed of 251 mph.
Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43 1994 Dauer Porsche 962 LM (Le Mans, 1994): Hans Stuck Jr, Danny Sullivan and Thierry Boutsen finished 3rd at Le Mans in 1994 (2nd in class) in this car. Its sister car finished in first place, however, Boutsen set the fastest lap of the race at 131 mph. Because Dauer had modified a Porsche 962 into a street-legal car, the 962 was able to run in the GT class, instead of the C1 class for prototypes. 1994 marked the end of Group C and the loop hole Dauer used to compete in the GT1 class.
Model by ALTAYA 1/43 1994 Porsche Kremer CK8 (Le Mans, 1994): Derek Bell, Robin Donovan and Jurgen Lassig finished 6th overall and 3rd in Class at Le Mans in 1994, 28 laps behind the winning Porsche, but not before they briefly led the race. This was a modified K7 with a flat bottom, longer tail and body modified for the LM P1 class. It was built to honor Derek Bell by Kremer for Gulf Oil in their "Return of a Legend" promotion. Qualifying 2nd, tires, rear wing, a stuck throttle and electrical issues caused many pitstop delays and a chance for the 3.0L turbocharged, flat-six engined (from a 935/76) car to win Le Mans outright. It was the 24th run at Le Mans for Bell, a five-time winner.

1996 Porsche 911 GT1: In spite of its name, the car actually has very little in common with the 911. The floorpan was taken from the 956/962 Group C car. In addition, the GT1 featured a water-cooled, twin-turbocharged and intercooled, four valve per cylinder flat-six in a mid-mounted position and making about 600 hp. Designed for competition in the GT1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the GT1 was also raced in the FIA GT Championship, in which this car was raced at both Sebring and Laguna Seca in 1997.
Model by HIGH SPEED 1/43 1996 Porsche/TWR WSC-95 (LE MANS WINNER): One of two chassis built in conjunction with Tom Walkinshaw Racing, this car (Chassis #001) was driven to victory at Le Mans by Davy Jones, Alexander Wurz and Manuel Reuter in 1996. Developed in late 1995, as Porsche approved the project to develop a prototype for the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) series, running under the World Sports Car (WSC) regulations. The car was driven to victory again at Le Mans in 1997.
Model by TROFEAU 1/43 1996 Porsche 911 GT1: Porsche entered two of the new 911 GT1's at Le Mans in 1996. This car driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck Jr,, Thierry Boutsen and Bob Wollek finished 2nd overall and 1st in the GT1 class. Its sister car finished right behind it in 3rd place. when the 911 GT1 was uneveiled in 1996 Porsche had exploited the rule book to the full and stunned the sportscar fraternity. The 911 GT1 brought Porsche back to the top level of sportscar racing.
Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43 1996 Porsche 911 GT2: Based on their Porsche Carrera Cup, French and FIA GT Championship results, Larbre Competition was one of the favored teams to take GT2 honors at Le Mans in 1997. The team owner Jack Leconte drove this car with former F1 racer Jean-Piere Jarier and car owner Jean-Luc Chereau. Transmission failure sidelined the car in the eighth hour in a race with heavy attrition, with only 17 of 46 starters finishing the race. The teams second car also failed to finish, exiting the race with suspension failure after 205 laps. Suspension failure would also sideline this car at Le Mans in 1978 after leading the GT2 class. Based on the 911 turbo, the GT2 had a 3.6L flat-six, twin-turbocharged engine, which produced 424hp.

1996 Porsche/TWR WSC-95 (LE MANS WINNER): Built for Porsche by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and run by Joest Racing, the WSC-95 can trace its origin to a Jaguar sports car designed in 1991. The WSC-95 won Le Mans in both 1996 and 1997. This is the '97 livery of the car driven by Tom Kristensen, Stefan Johansson and Michele Alboreto. Using a highly modified spare Jaguar XJR-14 chassis, TWR built the car and used a Porsche 3.0L flat-six turbo charged engine.
Model by ALTAYA/IXO 1/43 1998 Porsche LMP1-98 (TWR): Having won Le Mans in 1996 & 1997, Porsche realized that its hopes for a third win rested with the successful WSC-95. After making chassis updates and improvements, the new car was called the LMP1-98. Pierre-Henri Raphanel, James Weaver & David Murry drove for Joest Racing at Le Mans in 1998 in this entry, which was one of two team entries. The third time was not to prove the charm, as one car went out early with electrical problems and this car(#002) spun in the 16th hour and was unable to continue. In 2014, Porsche will return to Le Mans in the new LMP1.
Model by TROFEU 1998 Porsche GT1-98 (LE MANS WINNER): Porsche GT1-98's finishe 1-2 at Le Mans in 1998. This car (Chassis #003) was driven by Alan McNish, Stephane Ortelli and Laurent Aiello to victory at Le Mans that year at an average speed of just over 128 mph over 2,965 miles. The GT1-98 was an all new body design, while the 3.2 L Flat-6 twin-turbo remained the same. The Porsche did not have the speed of the competition (Mercedes and Toyota) in the GT1 class, but overall reliability won the day at Le Mans.
Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43 1998 Porsche GT1-98: Porsche further developed the 911 GT1 for the 1998 season to compete with Toyota and Mercedes in the highly competitive FIA GT Championship. Despite new bodywork that made the car look more like a sports prototype, the GT1-98 proved not to be as fast as its rival competition, but that it had better grip and handling than its predecessor. With maximum downforce, the GT1-98 had a top speed of 190 mph, and with reduced downforce a maximum recorded speed of 205 mph at Le Mans; utilizing the 3.2L flat-six, twin-turbocharged engine that produced 600bhp. Zakspeed received two GT1-98's, which proved to be slightly slower than the other GT1's because the Pirelli tires they used were inferior to other brands. Both cars failed to qualify for Le Mans. Still, this car (Ch.#005) which was driven by Alexander Grau and Andreas Scheld most of the season always finished in the top ten, including a 5th place at Silverstone in the British Empire Trophy in this livery. Midway through the season it was painted green to match its sister car.

This car in Brumos Racing livery and was driven by Dario Franchitti and Gunnar Jeannette in a IMSA GT3 race at Barber Park.
Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43 2006 Porsche 911 (996) GT3-RSR (Le Mans, 2006): Porsche introduced the 911 (996) GT3 at the Geneva Motorshow in 1999.

2014 Porsche 919 Hybrid: Timo Bernhard, Mark Webber & Brendon Hartley shared the driving duties of this Porsche entry at Le Mans in 2014, as Porsche re-entered prototype racing with the 919 Hybrid. Powered by a 2.0 L four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a battery-based hybrid system, the 919 has a top speed of over 200 mph. Webber was lured away from F1 by Porsche to help develop its prototype racing program and Audi's strangle hold on endurance racing. This 919 was in second place with an hour and a half left in the race when a roll bar snapped damaging the oil pump and ended what looked to be a promising finish in its maiden outing at Le Mans.
Model by SPARK 1/43 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid (LE MANS WINNER): Porsche was back at Le Mans in 2015 with the intent to win. The 919 was redesigned with 85-90% new parts in an attempt to be both lighter and to also have extra batter capacity. Their efforst were successful with the team of Earl Bamber, Nico Hulkenberg and Nick Tandy taking first place,; Porsche's first win at Le Mans since 1998. They finished a lap ahead of their sister car after having started in third position. A trouble free run from the half-way point of the race allowed the winning team to outrun their fellow teammates, as well as their strongest rival, Audi. The Le Mans win, together with a strong finish to the 2015 season allowed Porsche to win the World Championship for Makes.
Model by SPARK 1/43 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid (LE MANS WINNER): In what many have said was the most dramatic Le Mans finish ever, Porsche claimed their 18th outright win at Le Mans in 2016. The race which began in heavy rain behind the safety car, had the lead change 40 times during the race betwween Audi, Porsche and Toyota. With a lead of 25 seconds, the winning Porsche slowly reeling them in on fresh tires, it looked as if the leading Toyota would hold on to win. Yet, with a lap remaining the Toyota suddenly slowed and stopped, giving the pole winning Porsche 919 driven by Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb the surprise victory.
Model by SPARK 1/43 2017 Porsche 919 Hybrid (LE MANS WINNER): Porsche claimed their 19th outright victory at Le Mans in 2017, but not without some drama like the year before.

Its sister car comfortably in the lead, dropped out with three hours to go. With heavy attrition in the LMP1 class, LMP2 cars led the race until the final two hours when the winning Porsche was able to take and hold the race lead. Only one other LMP1 car (Toyota) finished the race, with 2-8 positions occupied by LMP2 class cars. The second place Oreca finished a lap down to the winning 919, indicating the speed difference between the classes.

This car, liveried in Rothman's colors and the infamous Pink Pig for its team mate. This car driven by Richard Liets, Gianmaria Bruni and Frederic Makowiecki entered in GTE Pro, was the fastest of all the get cars and qualified on the GT pole. A safety car situation gave a sizable lead to their sister car which they could never regain. They finished 16th overall and 2nd in class behind the other Porsche 991. There race was not without some drama as they battled late in the race with a Ford GT, taking their place just 13 seconds ahead. The 991 was used in endurance events in Europe, powered by its 4.0L six-cylinder boxer engine, which produced 510 hp and made this a formidable GT car true to its heritage.
Model by SPARK 1/43 2019 Porsche 911 (991) RSR (Le Mans 2019): With one of the first 911 (991) RSR chassis constructed in late 2017, this car was fitted with upgraded body panels for its run at Le Mans in 2019.

The car was run almost exclusively during its life in the American IMSA series.
Model by SPARK 1/43 2019 Porsche 911 (991) RSR (Le Mans 2019): One of six factory sponsored cars in the GTE Am class, this car driven by Mike Wainwright, Ben Barker and Thomas Preining was entered under the Gulf Racing banner.

1991 Porsche (Gunnar) 966 : Called either the Porsche 966 or the Gunnar-Porsche 966, this was the first open-cockpit prototype sports car and paved the way for the World Sports Car (WSC) class. Based on a 962 chassis and inspired by the 936, the 966 was built and campaigned by Kevin Jeannette's Gunnar Racing from 1991-93. The car was powered by a 3.2L Porsche twin-turbo flat-six. John Paul drove this car at the 1991 IMSA Miami GP, but failed to finish. Model by TRUE SCALE 1/43		1992 Porsche (Gunnar) 966: Gunnar Racing built only one car, although it seems like more since it appeared in many different liveries. Brumos Racing entered the car for Sebring in 1992. Hurley Haywood and Bobby Caradine drove the 3.0L single turbo entry in the 12 hour race, failing to finish due to electrical problems. The 966 was not as fast as the Toyota, Nissan and Jaguar competition, but very competitive none the less. Model by TRUE SCALE 1/43	1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S LM: Walter Röhrl, Hans-Joachim Stuck and Hurley Haywood drove the Brumos Racing entry at Sebring in 1993. They finished 7th overall and 1st in class. The 911 Turbo S Le Mans GT was a stripped down, road legal Turbo S for racing, using a smaller 3.2L twin-turbo six-cylinder, producing 475 hp and was the prototype for the 911 GT2. This car was raced at Le Mans in 1993, where it failed to finish and second at Daytona in 1994. Model by SPARK 1/43


1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup (French Carrera Cup, 1993): Jack Leconte, owner of Larbre Competition entered this Carrera 2 (964) in the French Porsche Carrera Cup series, a single make series that was often a supporting race to touring car and F1 races. The Carrara 2 Cup cars are powered by 3.6L six-cylinder engines, which produce 420 bhp. Like the cars themselves, the engines are assembled by Porsche. Leconte also competed in Porsche Super Cup races and took a class win at Le Mans in 1993. Model by VITESSE 1/43	1994 Dauer Porsche 962 LM (LE MANS, 1994 - WINNER): Yannick Dalmas, Hurley Haywood and Mauro Baldi drove the Le Mans Porsche Team entry at Le Mans in 1994 to victory. It was the third Le Mans victory for Haywood and he then had wins in three different decades (70's, 80's & 90's). The Dauer 962 LM uses the Porsche 962 chassis and 3.0L twin-turbo six cylinder engine, with revised fiberglass bodywork. It produces over 740 bhp and a top speed of 251 mph. Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43	1994 Dauer Porsche 962 LM (Le Mans, 1994): Hans Stuck Jr, Danny Sullivan and Thierry Boutsen finished 3rd at Le Mans in 1994 (2nd in class) in this car. Its sister car finished in first place, however, Boutsen set the fastest lap of the race at 131 mph. Because Dauer had modified a Porsche 962 into a street-legal car, the 962 was able to run in the GT class, instead of the C1 class for prototypes. 1994 marked the end of Group C and the loop hole Dauer used to compete in the GT1 class. Model by ALTAYA 1/43	1994 Porsche Kremer CK8 (Le Mans, 1994): Derek Bell, Robin Donovan and Jurgen Lassig finished 6th overall and 3rd in Class at Le Mans in 1994, 28 laps behind the winning Porsche, but not before they briefly led the race. This was a modified K7 with a flat bottom, longer tail and body modified for the LM P1 class. It was built to honor Derek Bell by Kremer for Gulf Oil in their "Return of a Legend" promotion.
