The Porsche 956 was built by the German manufacturer in 1982 to participate in the World Sport-Prototype Championship in the new category Group C. Porsche, to be competitive in the new championship, abandoned the previous 936 winner of various competitions between 1976 and 1981, and developed the 956 characterized by the adoption of innovative engine, chassis and aerodynamic solutions. The designers, who had to stay within the parameters imposed by the regulation, decided to use a monocoque aluminum frame and the adoption of the 2.650 cm3 supercharged 6-cylinder boxer engine with two turbochargers. The Porsche 956 proved to be a viable sports car by winning several World Championship sport-prototype titles and winning four editions of the famous Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race.
