32767 view(s)  Originally conceived as the IMSA/GTP version of the all conquering Porsche 956, the 962 would grow out to become the mainstay of Porsche's sportscar program.
Outwardly similar to the 956 used in the Group C class, the 962 IMSA/GTP featured a slightly longer wheelbase and a single turbocharged completely air-cooled 2.8 litre boxer engine. With 180+ wins the 962 would outscore the unbeatable 956 it was derived from.
Main reason for the conception of the 962 was the stricter safety regulations of the IMSA series. The rules dictated that the pedal box had to be mounted behind the front axle line, to which the 956 did not comply.
Length 4800 mm / Width 2000 mm / Height 1080 mm / Wheelbase 2650 mm

 Tamiya used the molds of the original Tamtech body (1/24 RC cars) for its re-issue of the 962C.
The Kurzheck / short tail body comes molded in yellow (From-A and Shell) or white ( Blaupunkt #24097) versions originally, and as a Shell car in the 2001 reissue.
The body comes with fitted windows, headlight lenses and the rear spoiler is molded integrally with the body.
Downside of its RC history are the large holes on each side that were used to mount thye body on the tamtech chassis, but the kit has 4 plastic plugs to close them, so dont throw these away.
Although not the usual Tamiya high detailed quality these kits are ideal for starting slotters. |
