Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

In 1991 Jochen Dauer bought five unused 962 chassis (169, 172, 173, 175, 176) from Porsche. After the 962 LM debuted at Frankfurt in September 1993, Porsche engineer Norbert Singer proposed a Le Mans entry using a GT1 rule loophole that required just one road-going version. When the ACO added a flat-bottom rule in January 1994 the 962 LM Sport was created with a flat underbody and revised nose and tail. At Le Mans in June 1994 the two racers, 002 and 003, finished first and third overall and took the top two GT1 class places after the leading Toyota failed late in the race.
