The Schuppan 962CR is a street-legal super sports car based on the Porsche 962 racing car , only the engine of which, however, has remained largely unchanged. The project was implemented by a workshop in the English High Wycombe ( Modena Wycombe Ltd. or Team Modena ), a Japanese dealership and the Australian racing driver Vern Schuppan , in 1983 with a Porsche 956 C , the 24 Hours of Le Mans won and then successfully a Japanese championship drove. Only six of the extraordinary vehicle were built, with a list price of $ 1.5 million. Other sources even speak of $ 2.5 million, which would have made this vehicle one of the most expensive new cars of its time.
After payments for two cars delivered to Japan were not paid and the total cost of the project exceeded the proceeds, Schuppan was forced to file for bankruptcy. The “962CR” remained the only car he designed.
