favorite porsche and why?

Dauer Porsche 962 Le Mans

Only one ever built, in 1994 ex-racing driver Jochen Dauer took one of the Le Mans winning Porsche 962 Le Mans and put on the required modifications to make the car road-legal.

Top Speed 405 kph / 253 mph
0-60 (mph) 2.7 sec
730 BHP @ 8250 rpm
Torque 698 Nm/515 ft lb @ 4200
 
For me it's got to be the 917K. I mean It was just such a step forward, from the 1960's to the 70's. It was fantastic looking (especially the gulf one) made an increadible sound and was phenominally powerful, even by todays standards. In 1970 It won I think all of the races apart from one in the sports car world championships! Some stats:
BHP: 630 @ 8500rpm
Torque: 589 Nm
Engine: Flat 12 Air cooled 4,998 cc.
Weight: 800kg
Fuel Consumption : 5.95 miles per gallon :lol: . Well it's a racing car, what you expect?
Top Speed: 220mph
0-100kph: 2.7 seconds.

Okay so it wasn't as quick as the 917/30, but I prefer it :) .

:drool: Any idea how much it's worth? Engine Asipiration?
 
I'm told that the Sultan of Brunei owns 2 of them - so there's not only the ONE in existence at least.
 
The Sultan of Brunei owns 6 Dauer 962LMs. I can't find any info on how many were built, but as it was based on the Porsche 956/962, Jochen Dauer said he could only build a maximum of 50. The 956/962 had to be bought and used as a donor car. My guess is it would be around 15-20 if that.
