1994 Dauer 962 Le Mans

In the nineties, with the cars of the prototype urban roads was an idea that several joint ventures. Given the contrast between sports cars and racing cars engineering, embarking on this project has been a laborious task. Along with limited production and sensitive customer, development costs are difficult to recover. Despite these difficulties, several German companies also decided to create their own path Porsche 962 is the prototype racing car of the most successful of our time.

Since 1983, dominated the Porsche 956 and its 962 IMSA Spec version for a decade. Porsche has produced nearly 150 956/962s and sold many cars to private teams. During this period, Porsche and made available to each component on the car. Due to this customer support, Porsche was not only marks the most successful Le Mans, but also important pieces for companies such as DP Motorsport, Schuppan, Koenig and Dauer, to make their way into the promos.

Among the companies that produced a 962 road car, the most successful was Dauer. After showing their 962 first time at the IAA 1993 in partnership with Dauer Porsche to produce a challenger for the 1994 hours of Le Mans 24. At that time, the rules stipulated a single path prototype in the version of the car was made for approval. As a result of these rules, there have been several promotions approval arose from the faster cars in the racing world. These include the Porsche GT1, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and the car function, Dauer 962 LM. What a great time.

During the 24 hour race, Dauer presented with a version of the road and the racing version of the Porsche 962, a model that has won six times at Le Mans. After winning the race, FIA said it would be the creation of rules to ensure that the 962 would not be in 1995. However, with a Le Mans victory to his credit, and with the support of Porsche Dauer continued to build their roads are going to 962.

962LM in detail
Since the victory of 1994, has changed dramatically in the care Dauer Street Legal Race Car roadcar civilized. To create each of these cars, Dauer Porsche 956/962 is an original tapes and made cars. A carbon fiber body-new / Kevlar is then a very tight leather interior. Once completed, the owner gets a car that has a history of the competition at the highest level of motorsport and is ready to drive on local streets.

A notable development was the introduction of a series of electro-hydraulic machine. Even if equipped with pneumatic doors and boot lid, one of the main changes is the hydraulic suspension to raise and lower the car. This was a manditory of 962, a standard cut, is far too low to meet ground clearance required by German law.

Inside the cockpit Dauer made a deal more civil. Reinald Mattes spent much time trying to fit two seats in a very tight cockpit. After processing is complete, Dauer composed of carbon fiber panels and covered with leather. Interesting features, including internal cooling, a removable luggage wheel well detailed. However, 962 is a machine very unforgiving, and it is doubtful that any driver would have time to see but only hear the DVD player are provided.

Power 962 is the same 2994cc liquid-cooled flat-six found in Porsche race cars. A pair of KKK turbochargers and intercooler engine are used as the "softer" cams for a more docile. Thanks to the race of catalytic converters and engine management Bosch Motronic 1.7, 962 complies with European emission. Kingdom to the engine is a unique transmission that uses the 962 normal manual transmission and clutch. But instead of using a gear lever, the driver to select with the buttons in the style Tiptronic S ratio on the wheel.

A 1080 kg, the 962LM can weigh 180 kg in the race car more than 962, but its power based on the weight is even better than the McLaren F1. In an early slip, 0-60mph takes 2.6 seconds in first gear! Five seconds after it has doubled its speed. Ultimately, a shade over 250 miles per hour is possible. A speed test was conducted on track Leiss VW Ehra-test, which has reached 404.6 kilometers per hour.

A total of 13 variants Dauer has been completed, and we're still taking orders Dauer more cars. They are also eliminating a very limited run, which sold shares EB110s Bugatti Dauer when the company closed. We also heard that the Dauer is to update the 962 and 2006, the model is in the works.
