The Dauer 962 Le Mans has been introduced to the public during the 1993 Frankfurt Motor Show and the Dubai Motor Show in the same year. The Porsche GmbH has never officially participated to the plan, even if it has given a strong contribution to the development of the car and to the supply of pieces. The interest of Porsche GmbH was due to the agonistic employment of the Dauer-962, previewed from the beginning of the plan. Porsche GmbH, in fact, would have been intentional to enroll its 993 GT2 at the 1994 Le Mans 24 hours, but the car had not had an accurate development, so it would not have turned out competitive, both in its class and for the overall success. So it was believed that it was the much most favorable thing to support Dauer 962, accredited like street car and therefore in a position to participating to the Le Mans 24 hours both in the GT category and therefore to head for the overall success. In January 1994 the organizers of the Le Mans 24 hours introduced the norm about the flat bottom imposing that the "sottoscocca" of every car was flat in all the central part between the wheels. Dauer 962, already much less deporting than the Porsche 962C, could not have benefitted anymore of any aerodynamic weight. But thanks to the technicians of Stoccarda, the Dauer succeeded to accredit one new version of its 962 equipped with a different "sottoscocca", a different rear aileron and a longer snout. With such modifications two Dauer 962 enrolled at the Le Mans 24 hours, has dominated the race, reaching first and third overall final position. Porsche GmbH succeeded to impose it self in GT2 category with a 993 Turbo.
