963's hinges and wing connectors are all finished in satin black.

It was a challenge for Sonderwunsch to tan the interior and apply ‘Martini’ silver paint as the 963 RSP is entirely made of carbon fibre.

The 963 RSP derives its 680hp-4.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 from the Porsche 918 Spyder, but it also adds a hybrid system.

Porsche 917 of the 1970s has a 0-100kph time of around 3 seconds and a 330kph top speed.

Porsche has not revealed the 963 RSP's 0 to 100kph and top speed figures, however, they are estimated to be around the 917's numbers.

The Porsche 963 RSP competes in the same class as the Ferrari 499, Alpine A424 and BMW M Hybrid V8.

Porsche has made a road-legal version of its 917 race car, a legendary Le Mans racer it built over 50 years ago. Dubbed the 963 RSP, it is all but technically identical to its racing counterpart. At its heart is a 4.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 paired to a hybrid system, which makes about 680hp. Interestingly, the V8 motor has been derived from the Porsche 918 Spyder. While Porsche hasn’t revealed the 963 RSP’s 0-100kph and top speed figures, it’s estimated to be similar to the 917's figures of 3 seconds and 330kph. The 963 RSP competes in the same class as the Ferrari 499, Alpine A424 and BMW M Hybrid V8.
