Transmission: 5-speed manual transmission or dual-clutch ... The Porsche 962 is a sports prototype racing car ... which had already taken WEC top-honors four times. ...
Power goes to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. [1] The engine was borrowed nearly directly from the standard Porsche 962 unit used in the North American IMSA GT Championship with a slight decrease in displacement. The car has a claimed top speed of 230 mph (370 km/h), and a 0–60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration time of 3. ...
The 962 Le Mans uses nearly the same engine as the racing 962: Porsche's water-cooled Type-935, 2994 cc Flat-6 with two KKK (Kühnle, Kopp und Kausch AG) turbochargers. [2] Since the road car did not have to meet racing regulations, the air restrictor was removed allowing for an output of approximately 730 PS (720 hp; 537 kW).
The engine had to be slightly de-tuned to meet European emissions laws, although its 400 kW (544 PS; 536 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,250 rpm proved to be more than adequate; the car could accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 308 km/h (191 mph).

Using this road car design, Porsche entered two converted 962 chassis in the GT category as Dauer 962 Le Mans. With factory support, the Dauer 962 was able to ...
Porsche 962. The Porsche customer teams were again proving very competitive. Joest Racing had upheld Porsche honour, winning in 1983, and then beating the works team in 1984. This year, they brought that same lucky 956B chassis back with the same winning trio - Klaus Ludwig, Paolo Barilla and Louis Krages. In the absence of any American teams ...
Porsche has unveiled the new 2025 911 Carrera T. The enthusiast's Carrera receives a major rework for the 992.2 update, with an updated suspension, new six-speed manual transmission, and a ...
At the time, Porsche offered the 911 3.2 with a 5-speed manual transmission, but the 930 featured only a 4-speed manual transmission, chosen because it was the only unit manufactured by the company that could handle the turbocharged engine's high power output.
