This is the unbelievably rare, 1993 Porsche Schuppan 962CR/LM, chassis number (962CR 06) 1 of only 6 cars ever built in the entire planet. Thanks to @thecultivatedcollector I was able to take a close look at this 962CR/LM and learn all the important history about the car. Let’s start with the fact that the Schuppan 962CR was only produced from 1992-1994 and was built as a tribute to Australian racecar driver, Vern Schuppan, and his success behind the wheel of the Group-C Porsche 956. The 962CR is based on the dominant Le Mans-winning Porsche 962 racecar which Schuppan raced and owned under his own racing team. Priced at $1.5m-$1.9m in the 1990’s, the Schuppan 962CR remains one of the most expensive vehicles ever sold as new to this day. Although the Porsche Schuppan 962CR is 1 of 6, this specific car features a unique body, unique motor and a few other elements that make it slightly different from all the others, making it more of a one-off than anything else. This specific 962CR features a water-cooled flat-6 2.65L engine. However, the cylinder heads are water-cooled and the cylinders themselves are air-cooled, making it a combination of both. All of the other Schuppan Porsche 962CR cars can run on pump-fuel, however, this one in specific runs on C16 race fuel. Clearly, this is about as close as you can get to driving a race-car on the road, legally. The 962CR uses a carbon fiber monocoque and weighs in at only about 2,300lbs. This car had only 1 mile on the odometer before it was taken out for a drive on @jaylenosgarage! Thank you for letting us witness this fine piece of automotive history!, @thecultivatedcollector
