For 1982 FIA changed the rules of the game: gone was Group 6 class and in came C class. With the rule change Porsche needed a substitute for the venerable 936, and the all-mighty 956 was born. The engine, basically the same used in the 936\/81 (Type-935) was a turbocharged flat 6 of 2.65 l. This time, however, it had EFI, making the engine more economical and capable of 635 hp. The chassis, a first for Porsche, was an aluminum monocoque, and the 956 was the first Porsche to use the PDK dual-clutch gearbox. And another first for the 956 was that it was the first Porsche to use ground-effect. The project was so effective that the 956 generated 3\u00d7 more down-force than the 917<\/a>. The result of all this? For four years straight the 956 dominated at La Sarthe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the nicest of liveries but at least it’s colorful.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In 1983, between factory (Rothmans) and customer cars, eleven 956s were fielded, and of these, eight crossed the finish line in the first positions. The Newman 956 #12<\/strong> (chassis #956-105<\/a>) came in 4th overall that year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pity about the unmarked tires. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is another model from Minichamps, and once again, a very \u201chonest\u201d one. The paint job is very good, and more important of all, the lines of the car were very well recreated in scale. However, tires are not marked – looks like Minichamps doesn’t like marked tires. Very certainly this 956 #12 is not a must-buy model for most. But it will go nicely in any Le Mans or Porsche collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
