A road-go🦋ing version of the Porsc𒊎he 963 LMDh could be launched in June this year.

As Porsche celebrates 50 yearꦏs of the street-legal version of the iconic 917, the German manufacturer has hinted a🔜t a potential successor to the ‘track-to-road’ project.

A video shared on Porsche’s social handles shows the sil♓houette of the World Endurance Championship-winning 963, followed by the text ‘what if’.

The video has been accompanied by an article about the 917 on Porsche’s ✨official website, which again teases a version of the 963 that wil♚l particularly appeal to car collectors.

“Importantly, as its descendent enjoys success on the track today, the spirit and desire within Porsche that allowed the creation of a 917 for the road all that time ago remains very much alive five decades on – pr🌠ompting tꦕhe question: what if?,” it said.

Porsche scored its first overall victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours with the 917 in 1970. The car became an important part of Pors🎃che’s history, winning Le Mans again in 1971 and helping the Stuttgart-based ꧅marque score back-to-back International Championship for Makes titles in the World SportsCar Championship.

One of the race-used Porsche 917s, chassi🉐s number 30, was subsequently modified for the road at the request of Italian businessman and Martini heir Gregori🍸o Rossi di Montelera.

Po🐬rsche equipped the road-going 917 with exhaust mufflers, additional mirrors, side indicators, a spare tyre and even a horn, while also modifying its interiors. It was painted in Martini Silver.

The car receꩵntly underwent restoration work and resid🎃es with its current owner in France, albeit on a UK registration.

Porsche will have to pass more stringe🧜nt regulations to make the 963 fit for use on public roads.
