1988 Porsche 962C Coupe / 962-010 Chassis Information

This Porsche, chassis 962-010 is the last of just 10 Works-built and factory entered 962's. It is also one of the most original in existence. Purpose-built to win the 1988 Le Mans 24 Hour event, '010' was engineered with a number of upgrades. They worked, as the car set lap records in both qualifying and the race. Hans Stuck qualified on the pole, some six seconds ahead of the nearest Jaguar. The car dominated early on, until fuel issues (first running out and then a pump failure). Sunday's rainfall played into the hands of Stuck and '010,' both were without equal that day as they reeled in the leading Jaguar by 12 seconds a lap. Fearful of Stuck's pace Porsche ordered him to maintain position in second, where the car ultimately finished. It was retired to an American private collector that same year ensuring it as built preservation.
