Street-legal Porsche 963 RSP leaked; spotted in Le Mans ahead of debut

Porsche is all set to reveal a one-off road-legal race car, the Porsche 963 RSP, ahead of the annual 24 Hours of Le Mans. Until now, we had only seen bits of the vehicle through official teasers. Now, though, pictures and videos of the 963 RSP have leaked online.

The Porsche 963 RSP was spotted while filming on the narrow streets of Le Mans. Like the iconic Porsche 917, the new one-off also has a shiny silver exterior finish. The design is identical to the 963 race car, featuring the same headlights, butterfly doors, massive rear wing and a shark fin extending from the driver canopy. One major change, though, is that this car has a license plate holder.

Porsche has most certainly made some changes under the skin as well. The suspension appears to have been raised slightly so that it can go over speed bumps. There will also be other modifications that will be clear once the car is revealed.

Now, there have been rumours suggesting that the owner of the 963 RSP is none other than Roger Penske. We haven’t been able to confirm this, but the ‘RSP’ in the name certainly points to that.

UK-based Lanzante has done similar road conversions of race cars. One of their recent builds was a street-legal Pagani Zonda R.
