The Porsche 962 is a sports prototype racing car designed and built by Porsche. Created to replace the Porsche 956, 962 was introduced at the end of 1984 and replaced the 956 in the IMSA's GTP class in 1985 due to regulation changes obsoleting the 956.

In 1987 Richard Lloyd Racing also known as GTi Engineering began production of a limited series of the Porsche 962s. These closely followed the factory design but had a new rear wing and front bodywork. Much of the development work was handled by Nigel Straud who incorporated many Tony Southgate’s Jaguar Group-C elements.
