Conceived by former Le Mans driver Vern Schuppan, the 962CR promised a spectacular road going version of the all conquering Porsche 962 track car. Like the Porsche, the Schuppan was built over a carbon fibre/kevlar monocoque but for road use a few concessions had to be made. The ride height was raised, and a limited slip differential introduced plus 'luxuries' such as air con and leather became standard, although neither steering nor braking were assisted.
After 2 years and $7million in development only 5 out of an initially projected 50 Schuppans were made. Due in part to the worldwide downturn in the hypercar market, but also due to the astonishing $2 million asking price!
