Actually, he's not. The Porsche 962 did start racing back in 1984, but the Dauer 962 road car didn't come along until 1993 and this was due to a change in the 24 Hour of Le Mans rules. The Group C class cars (the class the Porsche 962 raced in) were no longer eligible for overall wins, instead, only the GT class was eligible. So in order to qualify the 962 for overall wins, Dauer made a road going 962, in accordance to the regulations.

^Yeah the ACO weren't too happy to see someone really exploit the loophole and win overall.

I know that, but the fact still stands that the 956/962 came before the Nissan. Therefore, it's the Nissan that looks like the Porsche.
The Dauer 962 is pretty much a factory converted LM race car. The original post made it seem like Porsche made a race car that looked like the Nissan when it's really the other way around.
That's like saying the original Elan looks like a Miata.
Here's another family portrait.

Actually, I didn't actually see your post there. I thought ericdemoryGT was saying Mt. Lynx was wrong about the was made to race in 1994. I was just trying to help point out the difference between the Porsche 962 and Dauer 962.

See? it instantly looks better without the pink piglet. btw, that silver #44 single seater, what model is it?
- 906
718 RSK, it's a close relative of the more famous 550.
PS - I like the pink pig.
PPS - that's Porsche #1 front & center.

Sorry, but what you quoted about me, somehow that never quoted. Those words were someone else's.

^Or the design is a classic, that it doesn't need a major design change every few years like other cars do.

Curves: What the Porsche 911 is all about. Like a beautiful woman, it's got nice hips & a nice shapely rear.
Those are my words & have since been clarified. See my post & Jackington's below.

NapleonMikey, from the gamescon thread pointed out...
Ok this is a stretch but... Kaz is going to be at Laguna Seca this weekend. You know what else is happening this weekend at Laguna Seca... well this...

I take your Porsche gathering images and raise you this:
Coincidence... I hope so

I hope it's not just a segment for GTTV. Unless they need the Porsche license to film a Porsche GTTV segment.

Personally i think porsches are ugly and their designers are laziest designers ever.

Can anyone see any differences. Its just plain lazy!!
That's because all three of these 911's are variants of the same generation, the 997 which was first released in 2004 as a 2005 model. 911's have been in production for over 40 years now. They need to maintain a family resemblance or they wouldn't be 911's. Has any other model of car by any other brand been around as long? The only thing I can think of is the Toyota Land Cruiser, which for the purposes of this board doesn't really count.
I'd like to see the 911 GT1 Evo 99. This pic is from a few years ago when I visited the Porsche factory.

If all those cars will be there, there should be a LeMans championship in the Posche Dealer

Wow! So much motorsport history all in one place. Of course all 3 pics have winners of Le Mans, Targa Florio, Carrera Panamericana, and so on and so on. I like how your pic has the maroon 910 four rows back. One of my faves. Oddly enough that pic is missing the #23 Le Mans winning 917 (red & white) and the 911 GT1.
The only ones missing is the RS Spyder & the Brumos DP Porsche ('09 24h of Daytona winner). We need a new family portrait when Rennsport Reunion IV rolls around.
EDIT - Come to think of it, I don't see the TWR Porsches there either. ('96 & '97 Le Mans winners. Never officially acknowledged by the factory)

For anyone here who hasn't seen the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans. Go watch it now. Watch the wide screen version. Turn up the volume. And if you get bored of the 4 or 5 scenes with minimal dialog, fast forward. Porsche and Ferrari fans won't regret watching this movie, it will make you drool in anticipation of what we all could be playing in GT5 if Porsche makes it into the game and the game includes vintage Porsche and Ferrari race cars.

I'm really looking, but I can't see how either car looks like the other.
What the heck? They have similar qualities. Maybe your lost your imagination lol.

What similar qualities? All I can see thats "Similar" is the bodies, both of which were designed inder the same rules package. Other then that, I don't see what resemblance they have.
