The Flaming Unicorn: Schuppan-Porsche 962 CR

Hot off the presses, we hope you enjoy the first ever real world road test of the most expensive new car money could buy back in 1992: the Schuppan-Porsche 962 CR.
Who better to put it through its paces than the driver who prompted Gerhard Berger to ask “Who’s effing Dickie Meaden?!” when he beat his lap time in a GT 40…

The simple fact that the owner allowed a DELIVERY MILEAGE car of that rarity to be driven on a track is one thing but to allow it to actually roam the streets where it belongs is utterly mind blowing. What a legend. What a video. What a car! Bravo...

[@lawrenceturlej4772]

Mental though not driving and enjoying a car like this. Enjoy the damn thing ffs. Don't keep it locked in a garage

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

The guy put 100 exhilarating miles on the Porsche in one day. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. 😢 Outstanding job, Simon and crew.

[@KidstonProductions]

They do indeed...

[@MurderBong]

@@KidstonProductionsDAMN, WASN’T EXPECTING A SAD ENDING. JUST.. RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT DREAM ROAD IN A UNICORN. 😢

[@Rangent223]

its better to use it than just leave it in a garage for 30 years

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

@@Rangent223 So very true.👍🏻

[@N_D_RUS]

Где здесь отличная работа? 🤣

[@Legotruck82]

I can't imagine owning a machine like this and not enjoying it as intended. Cheers to the owner, good vid

[@overbuiltlimited]

Top notch video. As far as the owner goes, cheers to him lending it out for a drive. Also shame on him for allowing the car to only collect thirty one miles in the previous thirty two years.

[@toy200sx]

That's the way they retain a really high price. Not by driving them sadly.

[@rolux4853]

Owner isn’t a car guy, just a snob who has the car as an investment because he’s addicted to money. He easily has enough other sources of income and cars that keep their worth/multiply it. Not driving an 962 thats made to be abused in bad weather is just disappointing. Exactly the behavior you expect from greedy old money snobs. No gasoline in their veins, just cash and gold.. But it’s his car and his decision, I just don’t like it. But I’m nothing but a poor peasant who wouldn’t even be allowed to talk to him.

[@richardharrold9736]

​@@rolux4853you really don't have a clue who Simon Kidston is or what he's like as a car enthusiast, do you? Because the picture you paint of him couldn't have been further from the truth.

[@Xeil]

Kudos to the owner letting us all get to see this car in action and giving you guys the honor to drive and film it. Absolutely amazing.

[@KidstonProductions]

We are the proud owners!!

[@Ricqu]

FINALLY! Decades ago, around year 2000, in the early internet, there was a website showcasing cars under the manufacturers names. There were many cars in that site, but under the name miscellaneous there was this one car that I found fascinating and extremely beautiful. At that time, I did not understand what miscellaneous meant, and I just thought it was a manufacturers name. Years later I tried to find that car, but upon further inspection I realized what miscellaneous meant, and was so disappointed and lost. I searched for that vehicle for years without ever finding it. Now, today, about 20 years later I stumble upon this video, and flashbacks hit me harder than theia did to earth. It is this car, I have finally found it! I can finally frame a photo of this beast and put it on the wall of my garage.

[@scottmclennan6114]

Vern Schuppan really got the lines right on this one.

[@yhelloh]

Everywhere I go, I see his name... even when its not his name I still see... his... name.

Thank you for driving this car. They were meant to be driven. Delivery miles don’t exist in my world

[@largol33t12]

I love the body on this car but if I owned one, I would definitely race it at the track once in a while.

[@2kostasd]

Just wanted to say THANK YOU, SIMON! You are allowing us all to live out our dreams through your videos!!

Sad to learn of the passing of Alain de Cadanet. Epic video and car.

[@michaelmassart2349]

For whom a Ferrari F50 was too mainstream... Thank you for sharing this flame throwing piece of automotive art. 👍

[@stobe187]

I think this is much prettier than the F50, I dig the minimalist look.

[@happy_camper]

I love the Teutonic simplicity of its appearance. An elegant body which belies the Group C madness underneath...

[@thesprawl2361]

I saw this in a video game call forza horizon and there’s a photo mode in game - it looks glorious from every angle.

[@MrSpencerTreas]

Short and sweet. I love the video, but I wish we would’ve seen more of the interior and how everything works.

I didn't learn much abour the car, sadly.

[@hugo_reis]

Thank you, Simon Kidston, for what you give us, the common enthusiasts, in the process of running your business. Saw you and this car at Retromobile today, and it was a pleasure. If some fellow motoring journalist deserved this privilege, it was definitely Dickie Meaden. Great work. And Sam Riley is at its best here.

"Somebody get that man a booster seat!"

[@steverichardson6920]

It looks so uncomfortable…….

[@that_biker_boy5550]

I wasn’t even aware of Simon Kidston (or this car in fact) until now and that feels almost criminal! Firstly, I’m a Porsche guy and for me to not have known about this car has blown my mind! 🤯 Also the production of this video was amazing and genuinely one of the best car vids I’ve enjoyed recently… and I watch probably 10-20x a day! 😂🤦‍♂️ Great job guys!! 👌

[@johnarch6876]

Same boat also never heard of it. Was obviously a limited production quantity or prepaid and ordered.

[@Mrjoaobmarques]

absolutely fabulous piece of video.... As always, from Simon Kidston and team, and great driving from Dickie Meadan, making us all dream about this monster.

[@KidstonProductions]

Thank you so much

[@longsleevethong1457]

How was it a great video?? Where was the engine talk and the engine footage? Where was the focus on the car? I mean there was plenty of shots of some limey dude driving a car and talking about himself but that was about it.

[@hozozco]

Thanks for this. I’m from Whyalla, South Australia - where Vern grew up. My Sunday School teacher was Vern’s brother, and mate’s Mum used to race go carts against Vern (she claims she used to beat him too!). Thanks for posting.

[@chrisdooley1184]

Love to watch anything involving Dickie and Anglesey. Brings back all the years of my international subscription to EVO magazine with Harry Metcalfe at the helm. Plus this 962 is utterly brilliant 😊

This is fantastic. I remember reading about them back in the days they were new. Awesome video, where you really appreciate Dickie’s fantastic driving skills in what must be a beast with the boost turned up

[@hahaha9076]

If you're ever going to appreciate any car you will when you run on a road like that. Porsche. They love corners. Great video.

A machine ahead of its time and an owner just as proper. Kudos to Simon for allowing this rarity to gain some road mileage.

[@GrooveTasticThang]

Fabulous review and film making- Dickie Meade’s and the BS962CR- it had such a brief moment in the spotlight between the XJ-R15 and the F1 - I can’t remember much of a full review in the magazines, this film has put that right. Thanks for the ride, keep it up folks 👍

[@bicyclist2]

I'm sure it's a long walk back to civilization. I'm old enough to remember when these were new. I'm sure it's a great car but, I much prefer the look of the Dauer 962. And so does the Sultan of Brunei. The Dauer race team raced 962's back in the 80's and 90's. If memory serves, I think Jay Leno may have driven one of these on his show. I saw a silver one for sale back in 2019. Thanks.

[@dr80008]

Schuppan has too much of 959 styling for my taste. Dauer is definitely the more desirable road legal 962. Now we just need to get DM one to drive and compare the two.

[@KootBear]

962 Dauer is the real deal

[@marcusFZ6]

Such a great video and an even better car. I love that you got Dickie to drive it and tell us the story.

[@edisonz2006]

Wow, absolutely amazing production quality on this one! Love the drone shots of the winding countryside roads!

[@trance9158]

What a sound from this beast. An amazing beast. I'd forgotten about this car.

[@AndrewDBrown2020]

Great video guys - what a lovely thing to watch...

[@BrandonRC1]

What a great video, no shouting just joy and appreciation with everything being well articulated. It felt a lot like a Hagerty Henry Catchpole video. Great job Team you got a subscriber out of this South African.

[@deldridg]

Marvellous to see such a towering motoring piece being driven at this level and described by a driver of the calibre of Dickie Meaden. The sheer high production standard of this video, its emotive element and the car itself almost brought tears to this old ex 964 owner in Sydney. Many thanks and a new subscriber you have Down Under - David

[@kushweedfaded]

How ironic. Was just playing FH5 last night, and while driving this car, started wondering where it came from. I knew I had heard of it before in life, but other than hearing the name and playing it in the game, i didn’t know anything about it. Didn’t think about it again until I stumbled upon this video. Crazy how life works sometimes. All I can say is, it was a beautiful machine in the game, but did not know just how amazing of a car it was in real life. Congrats on being able to drive one, and thank you for showing it to us 🙏🏽

[@WhiteMouse77]

Whooooooha! What a beautiful machine! I've never seen this special before....Koenig C62 and Dauer 962 were pretty raw road formulas but this is much more composed and balanced like somehing between Gumpert Apollo and Maseatti MC12.....

[@theeightytwentyrule]

Very generous owner. What a machine. The production does it justice.

[@KarlBuckley-bw3vc]

I remember watching a TV show years ago featuring Alain Decadinet, where he drove many cars, including the 962 CR. I was in awww! Of this thing at the time, as it looked and still looks like a spaceship.❤

[@LapoftheWorld]

Awesome to see this unicorn driven properly even for a short time. Kudos to the owner for taking one for the team and allowing a little smudge on the "investment" ledger for the greater good. I think the only other impressions I remember of this car were in print and, while I have a good imagination, seeing and hearing the car with this level of cinematography definitely hits differently. 🍻

[@tiga8032]

Funny thing, only until a few days ago I never heard of this car (I knew about the Dauer version though) and now this video showed in my feed. Thank you guys, didn't know there were UK examples of this beast of a car.
