PORSCHE 906 LH n.31

HISTORY

The Porsche 906 LH it is a car that took part in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 1965 906 prototype evolved thanks to the designer Eugen Kolb, who had the longest rear. From this configuration the name 906 LH was given, long tail translated into German Langheck. It was shown publicly for the first time on test day in Le Mans. For the race three specimens were made and it was able to reach 280 km/h with a 2-liter engine of 15 km/h higher than the 906. At high speeds the LH created a lifting effect that made it move forward quickly on the straight, but it was very dangerous.
