The 2024 season will go down as one of the most successful in Porsche's long-distance history: in just the second year with the Porsche 963, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart won seven of eight possible titles together with the works team Porsche Penske Motorsport. The basis for this result was the consistent improvement of the team structure as well as the work on the reliability and performance of the around 515 kW (700 PS) hybrid prototype.

The success story of the Porsche 963

The eponymous Pagani Automobili S.p.A was founded by Argentine-Italian Horacio Pagani in 1992, with the first production car, the Zonda C12, being presented at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show. This formed the backbone of production, with a number of bespoke variants, through to the introduction of the Huayra model in 2011, again at the Geneva Motor Show, with the production run also containing a number of bespoke examples.


Pagani Museum – ‘Up Close and Personal’ with Machines Rarely Seen on Roads
