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!
