Just six Schuppan 962CR road cars were built, and one of them just rolled into Jay Leno's Garage. Porsche dominated mid-to-late 1980s sports car racing. The charge to numerous checkered flags and podium finishes was forged on the back of the Porsche 962 Group C race car. The car continued winning races into the...
