## Caption

The tale of when perfect engineering befriended immaculate driving.

Emblazoned with an iconic Rothmans livery that blanketed an aluminum monocoque chassis, groundbreaking aerodynamics and a powerful boxer-6 turbo engine, the 956 claimed Le Mans victories in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1985.

If that wasn’t enough, the 956 also clocked a new fastest time round the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 1983, a record that remained untouched for 35 years.
 
Worshipped by those driving it, loathed by those against it, the 956 holds legendary status for a reason.
