Three Competition Porsches Presented at Gooding's Amelia www.porscheroadandrace.com Three Competition Porsches presented at Gooding’s Amelia Island Auction Published: 16th February 2018 By: Glen Smale Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/three-competition-porsches-presented-at-goodings-amelia-island-auction/ www.porscheroadandrace.com 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mathieu Heurtault Three historic turbocharged competition Porsches are to be presented at Gooding’s Amelia Island auction on 9 March 2018. The three race cars represent three important steps in www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche’s history of turbocharged race car development. These are: Year Car Comment 1974 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo One of the most historic racing cars of all time 1976 Porsche 934 The Group 4 racer used by Porsche’s customers 1990 Porsche 962C The 962C was the most dominant of the Group C era 1976 Porsche 934: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Brian Henniker www.porscheroadandrace.com 1990 Porsche 962C: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mike Maez 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo The first of Porsche’s ‘wild’ 911 creations, the Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo, represents a turning point in the history of competition Porsches, as it was the first use of turbocharged engines in a production-based race car. Just four examples of this racer were built, this car (chassis #R13) being the last of the batch. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mathieu Heurtault At just 800kg, the body was significantly lighter than the road car on which is was based. Apart from the rather obvious rear tail and wing structure, the rear portion of the roof was raised to aid the flow of air to the rear. The rear quarter light windows too were replaced with a panel which featured a large NACA duct that fed air to the engine compartment. The engine capacity limit for the Prototype class was 3-litre, and so with the 1.4x multiplication factor, the Carrera RSR Turbo’s engine capacity was limited to 2142cc. This engine produced 500bhp at 7600rpm, making the Carrera RSR Turbo capable of a top speed of 300km/h down the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. It could accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and to 124mph in 8.8 seconds. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Matt Howell It was built for the Martini & Rossi sponsored works team, and this car, known as R13, was the most successful of the RSR Turbos. R13 instantly became a racing legend, when it captured a spectacular second place overall finish at the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans. During its active career, it was raced by many of the era’s great drivers – including Gijs Van Lennep, Herbert Müller, and George Follmer – and competed at important venues including Brands Hatch, Watkins Glen, and Daytona. Once owned by the California dealer and racer Vasek Polak, this Porsche remains in original, well-preserved condition. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mathieu Heurtault This car (internally known as chassis #R13) represents a hugely important piece of Porsche’s motorsport heritage, and with just four examples built, opportunities to acquire such a vehicle do not come up very often. (Estimate: $6,000,000-$8,000,000). 1976 Porsche 934 Introduced for the 1976 season, the 934 was Porsche’s highly anticipated Group 4 GT variant of the all-new turbocharged 930 – a factory-built racing machine that maintained close ties to its road car counterpart. In fact, with the exception of wheel arch extensions and the front-mounted intercooler radiators, there was little externally that separated the road car from the race car. As Group 4 catered for modified GT production vehicles, the car www.porscheroadandrace.com had to remain as close to the road car as possible, which meant that the 934 had to race with the normal windows of the 930 Turbo road car, as no lightweight glass was permitted. The 2993cc turbocharged engine developed 485bhp at 7000rpm. 1976 Porsche 934: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Brian Henniker This Porsche 934, chassis #930 670 0162, boasts an in-period decade-long international racing history which is staggering, and it has a complete, unbroken provenance. Angelo Pallavicini purchased the car new and campaigned it at numerous European events before taking the 934 to the US to compete in the 24 Hours at Daytona, where he finished in tenth place overall and fourth in the GTO class. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1976 Porsche 934: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Brian Henniker Just 32 of these cars were built in 1976, and this well-maintained 934 in Light Yellow would make an excellent addition to a collection where such a model is lacking. (Estimate: $1,200,000-$1,600,000). 1990 Porsche 962C The Porsche 962 and its predecessor, the 956, are among the most important models in the history of endurance racing. Between 1982 and 1987, the Porsche 956 and 962 won Le Mans six times. In fact, between the years 1982-1994, the Porsche 956 and 962/962C racked up 232 international victories in races on every continent and in just about every race series imaginable, including: WSC, IMSA, JSPC, DRM, Norisring Trophy, Interserie, Supercup and Can-Am. This makes the 956 and 962 the most successful sports racing www.porscheroadandrace.com prototype ever. 1990 Porsche 962C: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mike Maez In addition to factory team cars, Porsche built additional 962C cars for privateers to campaign, with one of the most notable being Brun Motorsport. For the 1990 season, Brun ran two Porsche 962Cs in World Sports Prototype Championship, including the car being offered here, chassis #962-160. This 962C would see its first racing action at that year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it wore the iconic livery of Spain’s Repsol oil company. With a shorter tail than the factory works cars, 962-160 outpaced all other competitors and held the lead until just 15 minutes from the end of the race, when the engine expired. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1990 Porsche 962C: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mike Maez With an outstanding race record and just two owners from new, chassis #962-160 must rank as one of the most desirable and sought-after cars from the Group C era. With the growth in popularity of historic racing, this car will be a drawcard at any of the relevant races for which it would be eligible. (Estimate: $1,500,000-$2,000,000). www.porscheroadandrace.com 1990 Porsche 962C: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mike Maez The Gooding & Co Amelia Island Auction Date: Friday, March 9 at 11:00 am EST Location: Racquet Park, Omni Amelia Island Plantation, 6800 First Coast Hwy, Amelia Island, FL 32034 (1 mile south of Amelia Island Parkway) Public preview: March 8-9 For further information, phone: +1 310 899 1960 Edited by: Glen Smale Images by: Courtesy of Gooding & Co (© copyright as stipulated on each image) Share this:.

Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

  • Au 81 Vechicl3e Body Engg Notes
    UNIT 1- CAR BODY DETAILS Cars can come in a large variety of different body styles . Some are still in production, while others are of historical interest only. These styles are largely (though not completely) independent of a car's classification in terms of price, size and intended broad market; the same car model might be available in multiple body styles (or model ranges ). For some of the following terms, especially relating to four-wheel drive / SUV models and minivan / MPV models, the distinction between body style and classification is particularly narrow. Please note that while each body style has a historical and technical definition, in common usage such definitions are often blurred. Over time, the common usage of each term evolves. For example, people often call 4-passenger sport coupés a "sports car", while purists will insist that a sports car by definition is limited to two-place vehicles. Body work In automotive engineering , the bodywork of an automobile is the structure which protects: ⦁ The occupants ⦁ Any other payload ⦁ The mechanical components. In vehicles with a separate frame or chassis , the term bodywork is normally applied to only the non-structural panels, including doors and other movable panels, but it may also be used more generally to include the structural components which support the mechanical components. Construction There are three main types of automotive bodywork: ⦁ The first automobiles were designs adapted in large part from horse-drawn carriages, and had body-on-frame construction with a wooden frame and wooden or metal body panels. Wooden-framed motor vehicles remain in production to this day, with many of the cars made by the Morgan Motor Company still having wooden structures underlying their bodywork.

  • 1971 Daytona 24 Hours – Battle of the Giants
    www.porscheroadandrace.com A Sting in the Tale Published: 5th April 2019 By: Richard Wiley Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/a-sting-in-the-tale/ Le Mans 24 Hours, 31 May-1 June 1986: Start of the race – Porsches dominate the lead group In Part 1, Stories from Le Mans – with a Porsche flavour, our intrepid scribbler who hails from that beautiful part of South Africa, the Western Cape, shares with us some hilarious and revealing stories from his many trips to Le Mans. Richard Wiley, a lifelong motoring journalist, has always loved Le Mans, Group C and especially the Porsches of that era. A sting in the tale, covers his early trips to Le Mans in the late ‘80s. www.porscheroadandrace.com Le Mans 24 Hours, 12-13 June 1954: Leading the Porsche contingent on a media parade lap ahead of the 1954 Le Mans 24-Hour race is the #40 1498 cc Porsche 550 Spyder of Glockler/von Frankenburg followed by the similarly spec-ed #39 car of Johnny Claes/Pierre Stasse with the #41 car of Herrmann/Polensky just behind. At the rear is the #47 550 driven by Zora Arkus-Duntov/Gustave Olivier, the class-winning 1098 cc car For most of my three score years and ten, I lived – or should I say, survived – in Zimbabwe, an observation which may well invite the retort: “So what?” There are a number of appropriate responses I could provide, but three carry the most relevance. Firstly, as the son of a car-mad dental surgeon, I used to attend many motor races in the 1950s and 60s in the then Rhodesia.

  • 1989 - Porsche 962C Brun Motorsport
    1989 - Porsche 962C Brun Motorsport Make: Porsche Year: 1989 Type: Coupé Chassis Number: 962-006BM Drive: RHD Competition Ready: Yes Exterior Color: Jägermeister Key Features Description We have the pleasure to offer this gorgeous and iconic "Jägermeister" livery Porsche 962C for sale. The Porsche 956 replaced 935 as Porsche’s bread and butter sportscar for the privateer and after the success of the factory cars, Porsche unsurprisingly built and sold a lot of 956s. The only drawback the car had was that it couldn’t be raced in the IMSA GTP class as the foot pedals were beyond the front-wheel centreline and to overcome this, Porsche added 6 inches to the length of the chassis, hence the type number, 956 + 6 = 962. The 962 proved even more popular than the 956 now that the American market had opened up with Porsche building 95 examples. And if you wanted to build your own 962 using a chassis of your own design and build, Porsche were quite happy to help you as long as you bought all the mechanical parts from them, used the 962 windscreen and cabin shape, and called it a Porsche 962. Several teams built their own chassis and another 55 cars were privately built. Eight of those cars were built by Brun Motorsport using a honeycomb chassis of their own design which was fabricated and built by John Thompson of TC Prototypes in England. This particular car, 962-006BM was built fresh for 1989 and ran in a variety of liveries depending on what sponsorship arrangements were in place to satisfy a sponsors requirements for a particular race but for most of the season, the car wore the familiar orange livery of Jägermeister, who had been Brun’s primary sponsor for some time.

Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
