Porsche. With the 956 and 962 Porsche defined the era, winning Le Mans 6 times in a row. But by the late 80s a new challenger was emerging. Swiping Porsche’s long held World Sportscar Championship crown in 1987, then ending their Le Mans winning streak too in 1988, Jaguar put an end to Porsche’s dominance, and it was no fluke.
