In this episode of Petrolicious, we dive into the world of the Porsche 962 race car, a beast that ruled the tracks in the mid to late 80s before being banned by the FIA for its domination. But fear not, as a few of these race-winning machines were transformed into street-legal monsters by the legendary three tuna, with only two of these rare creations left in existence. Genyama, the proud owner, takes us through the unique process of mobilizing this beast before unleashing its power.
Genyama's journey with this Porsche 962 street-legal version is deeply personal, stemming from a harrowing experience with a Porsche 930 Turbo, known ominously as the "Widowmaker." A fateful moment on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway led to a totalled car and a newfound determination to conquer the art of driving. The transformation of the 962 race car into a street-legal marvel involved a 3.4 Conx twin-turbo engine cranking out a staggering 650 horsepower, wrapped in a lightweight carbon body for an unmatched power-to-weight ratio.
Driving this classic Porsche provides an analog experience that modern supercars can only dream of replicating. The raw, visceral connection between man and machine, the thrill of taming such a powerful beast, and the sense of achievement that comes with mastering a true driving icon like the Porsche 962 street-legal version is something that transcends mere transportation. Genyama's passion for this unique creation shines through as he shares the exhilarating journey of piloting this ultimate Porsche turbo car on the open road, a testament to the timeless allure of classic automotive engineering.
