The Porsche 961 was a racing car built by Porsche and based on their 959 sports car.
It was intended for the Group B sports car racing, complementing the purpose-built 956 and 962C which ran
in the Group C in the World Sports-Prototype Championship.
The 961 project was short lived, running only three races (At Le Mans in 1986 and 1987)
and Porsche constructed only one car.
Plans to sell the car to customers were scrapped when the Group B class was canceled.
