Porsche WSC-95 was a Le Mans Prototype. For an engine, Porsche would use one of their longest running motors, the Type-935 turbocharged Flat-6. Originally used in the Porsche 956 in the 1980s, the engine was still powerful enough to power modern prototypes. While Porsche’s new 911 GT1s would use a 3.2 Liter engine, the WSC-95 would use a smaller 3.0 Liter engine. Although smaller, this gave the WSC-95 a better fuel economy then the 911 GT1, which would be useful over long race distances. The WSC-95 actually saw very little race action even though it managed to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in both 1996 and 1997 without actually being acknowledged as a factory supported project. It would later be upgraded to the Porsche LMP1-98 before being retired. Only two cars would ever be built.
