The Magic of Le Mans – the 1951 356 Aluminium Coupé

Maiden race, first class victory

In 1951, Porsche had been in production for just three years. The Le Mans 24 Hours was in its 28^th year, and a long and glorious association was about to begin. The aluminium-bodied 356 coupé driven by the French team of Auguste Veuillet and Edmonde Mouché represented Porsche’s first attempt at this classic long-distance event. The debut was impressive, with the 356 clocking an average speed of 118 km/h to take 1.1 litre title and beating the speed set by the winner of the 1.5 liter class.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat four, two valves per cylinder, air-cooled, single camshaft

Capacity: 1.086 cm3

Power: 34 kW (46 hp)/5000 rpm

Weight: 640 kg

Top speed: 162 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – the 1970 917 Short-tail Coupé

Born to win

The Fifties and Sixties were good years for Porsche at Le Mans, with the company achieving good places and repeatedly taking class titles. Overall victory, however, was a much tougher proposition for the comparatively small sports cars from Zuffenhausen. Until 14 June 1970, that is, and the arrival of the 917. After 24 hours of grueling driving in atrocious weather conditions, the 917 short-tail coupé piloted by Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood crossed the finish line ahead of the field, followed in second place by a 917 long-tail coupé, giving Porsche its first great Le Mans success.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat twelve, two valves per cylinder, fuel injection, air-cooled, four overhead camshafts

Capacity: 4.494 cm3

Power: 427 kW (580 hp)/8400 rpm

Weight: 800 kg

Top speed: 340 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – the 1971 917 Long-tail Coupé

The fastest of its time

The Hunaudières straight at Le Mans is a legend in its own right. Hurtling flat-out along this 6 kilometer straight, lap after lap, is a enormous strain on both driver and car. In 1971, Porsche entered the “Langheck” or long-tail coupé again, alongside the 917 short-tail coupé. With its outstanding aerodynamics, the “Langheck” set a new speed record of 386 km/h. The driver team of Gérard Larousse and Vic Elford put up the second-fastest lap time, but overall victory went to the 917 short-tail of Dr. Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat twelve, two valves per cylinder, fuel injection, air-cooled, four overhead camshafts

Capacity: 4.907 cm3

Power: 442 kW (600 hp)/8400 rpm

Weight: 800 kg

Top speed: 386 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – the 1977 936 Spyder

Triumph against the odds

In 1977, Porsche concentrated its resources on the 935 and on winning the World Championship of Makes. Le Mans, however, was a job for the 936 Spyder, a car which had already given Porsche victory in the previous year’s 24 Hours, as well as the World Sports Car Championship. Problems with the fuel pump at the start of the race left the 936 of Barth, Haywood and Ickx languishing in 41^st place overall, but an inspired drive through the night by Jacky Ickx saw the 936 move inexorably up through the field to take Porsche’s fourth overall victory at Le Mans.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat six, two valves per cylinder, turbocharged, fuel injection, air-cooled, twin overhead camshafts

Capacity: 2.142 cm3

Power: 400 kW (540 hp)/8000 rpm

Weight: 700 kg

Top speed: 350 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – “Moby Dick”, the 1978 935 Coupé

World Champion of Makes on Le Mans grid

By 1978, Porsche and Le Mans had become inseparable. This year’s entry was the 935, fresh from its second successive victory in the World Championship of Makes, where private Porsche entrants were to run the 935 with great success until well into the 1980s. For Le Mans, the works 935 was transformed into a 366 km/h long-tail version which soon became known as “Moby Dick”. Drivers Manfred Schurti and Rolf Stommelen took the car to a respectable eighth place.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat six with four- valve heads, turbocharged, fuel injection, water/air-cooled, four overhead camshafts

Capacity: 3.211 cm3

Power: 553 kW (750 hp)/8200 rpm

Weight: 1.025 kg

Top speed: 366 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – the 1982 956 C Coupé

The most successful racing car in the world

A new decade and new regulations. The newly-introduced Group C presented Porsche with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate once again the benefits of turbo-charging, with its two-seater 956 C sports car, featuring monocoque construction and ground effect. The 956 C’s success story began in the Le Mans, only a few weeks after it had been completed. Works Porsche 956 C’s finished first, second and third, with Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell driving the winning car. In the years that followed, the Porsche 956/962 went on to become the most successful racing car in the world.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat six with four- valve heads, turbocharged, fuel injection, water/air-cooled, four overhead camshafts

Capacity: 2.649 cm3

Power: 457 kW (620 hp)/8200 rpm

Weight: 820 kg

Top speed: 350 km/h

The Magic of Le Mans – the 1996 911 GT1 Coupé

Close to standard production models, close to overall victory

After taking overall victory at Le Mans for the thirteenth time in 1994 with the 962, the successor to the 956, Porsche reassessed its racing activities and came up with the 911 GT1, based on the 911 Carrera (type 993). The car’s first outing was at Le Mans, naturally enough. Twenty-four hours later, both works 911 GT1s, driven by Hans J. Stuck /Bob Wollek / Thierry Boutsen and Scott Goodyear / Yannick Dalmas / Karl Wenlinger, came home top of the GT class. The only car to finish ahead of the GT1 was a Joest Porsche open sports prototype.

Technical specification:

Engine: flat six with four- valve heads, turbocharged, fuel injection, water cooled, four overhead camshafts

Capacity: 3.200 cm3

Power: 440 kW (600 hp)/7200 rpm

Weight: 1.000 kg

Top speed: 350 km/h.
