Schuppan-Porsche 962 CR - that was new for me. Wow...
According the video that was a delivery mileage example when the video was made, apparently very recently. Is that for real? Only 8 built (or 6 depending on the source).
650 HP, approx 2,250 lbs, rumored to cost between $1.5 and $2m when new in 1992. I found a story that said it was taken to LeMans to run the 1994 24-hour. There was supposed to be a second street version brought with the race version to prove it had been homolgated but they didn't have one. Their plan was to swap it from street spec to race mode when no one was looking but they were found out and barred from racing the car.
I couldn't find any kind of guesstimate on what one might be worth today.
