Porsche 963

Porsche's first factory prototype since the 919 Hybrid — and the LMDh that won the 2024 24 Hours of Daytona.

Set #76916 2023 280 pieces 8-stud Retired

76916 is the LEGO® Speed Champions rendering of the Porsche 963 — Porsche's LMDh prototype, built with Multimatic, run by Porsche Penske Motorsport, and the first Porsche factory racing prototype since the 919 Hybrid won three Le Mans titles in 2015–17. The set arrived in March 2023, the same year the real 963 made its racing debut at Daytona, and was retired on 31 December 2024, just as the real car broke through to its first major endurance win at the 2024 Rolex 24.

THE FACTORY LMDh

Porsche 963

Porsche Penske Motorsport's WEC Hypercar and IMSA GTP contender — first Porsche factory prototype since the 919 Hybrid

The Porsche 963 (factory designation Type 9R0) is the LMDh-class racing prototype Porsche built to return to the top class of endurance racing in 2023 — the first time the factory had run a top-class prototype since the 919 Hybrid won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times (2015–2017). It races in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the GTP class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship — competing for outright wins at Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, and the rest of the global endurance calendar. The LEGO® 76916 set is the only LEGO® rendering of the car.

Mechanically the 963 is a hybrid-powered prototype built around an LMDh-spec chassis supplied by Multimatic — the same Canadian engineering and manufacturing firm behind the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Ford GT. The internal-combustion engine is a 4.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 derived from the engine in the road-going Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid. Power comes through the standard LMDh hybrid system: a Bosch motor-generator unit, a Williams Advanced Engineering battery, and an Xtrac seven-speed sequential transmission, all of which are the spec components shared across the LMDh class. Combined output is regulation-capped at 500 kW (~680 hp) under the WEC/IMSA Balance of Performance.

The factory team is Porsche Penske Motorsport — a multi-year partnership announced in May 2021 between Porsche AG and Roger Penske's Team Penske, with the team running two cars in WEC and two in IMSA. Customer 963s are also fielded by Hertz Team JOTA (WEC) and Proton Competition (WEC), giving the 963 a four-to-five-car presence across most race weekends. The car's competitive debut came at the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona on 28–29 January 2023, the LEGO® 76916 set arriving on shelves about 30 days later.

The 2023 season was a tough debut: reliability issues kept Porsche off the top step at the Rolex 24 and at Le Mans. The breakthrough came in 2024 — the No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 won the 2024 Rolex 24 at Daytona (Dane Cameron, Matt Campbell, Felipe Nasr, Josef Newgarden), Porsche's first overall Daytona win since 2003. Porsche took its first WEC race win since 2017 at the 2024 Qatar 1812 km. At Le Mans 2025, the No. 6 finished P2, 14 seconds behind the winning Ferrari 499P — the closest Porsche has come to its 20th Le Mans win since 2017.

Display ideas

  • Solo on a podium-style stand to show the 963's distinctive LMDh proportions — front fender humps, twin-element rear wing.
  • Pair with 76906 (older 6-stud Porsche 911 RSR) for a Porsche endurance-racing display across two scales.

People

76916 captures a moment when Porsche, Penske, and a freshly-built LMDh prototype were all making their endurance-racing debut in the same season. Four people are central to the story.

Marin Stipkovic

LEGO® SET DESIGNER

Marin Stipkovic is the LEGO® designer credited with 76916 — and is also the designer behind 76910 (Aston Martin Valkyrie & Vantage GT3) and 76920 (Ford Mustang Dark Horse). The 963's distinctive front-fender humps, twin-element rear wing, and complex rear-deck venting were the build's hardest landings at 8-stud scale. The 280-piece 76916 set hits the LMDh-prototype proportions notably better than the 6-stud era's 919 Hybrid attempts could.

Urs Kuratle

DIRECTOR FACTORY RACING LMDh · PORSCHE MOTORSPORT

Urs Kuratle is the Director of Factory Racing LMDh at Porsche Motorsport and the engineering lead responsible for the 963 programme. Kuratle joined Porsche from Audi Sport (where he had been on the LMP1 R18 e-tron quattro programme) and was named to the 963 director role at the project's January 2022 announcement. He is the public face of the engineering programme — including the 2025 reveal of the road-going 963 RSP one-off — and is reported to have been pivotal in the rapid 2023-to-2024 reliability turnaround.

Roger Penske

TEAM PENSKE OWNER · PORSCHE PENSKE MOTORSPORT PARTNER

Roger Penske is the founder and owner of Team Penske and the partner Porsche selected in May 2021 to run the 963 factory programme as Porsche Penske Motorsport. Penske is the most successful team owner in major-league motorsport — Indianapolis 500, NASCAR, Indycar — and the Porsche partnership added a top-class endurance prototype to the Penske portfolio for the first time. The 963's win at the 2024 Rolex 24 at Daytona was Penske's tenth overall Daytona win.

Thomas Laudenbach

VICE PRESIDENT · PORSCHE MOTORSPORT (2021–2024)

Thomas Laudenbach was the Vice President of Porsche Motorsport from 2021 to 2024 — the period during which the 963 was conceived, built, debuted, and developed into a winning car. Laudenbach signed off on the LMDh decision (versus an LMH route) and on the Multimatic chassis-supplier arrangement. He is also the executive who concluded the Penske deal alongside Penske's Tim Cindric. Laudenbach moved on from Porsche Motorsport in 2024.

The build

Scale and era

76916 is from the current 8-stud LEGO® Speed Champions scale — the format the line shifted to in 2020. It sits alongside the other 2023-wave prototype/competition sets (notably 76918 McLaren Solus GT & F1 LM, 76917 Nissan Skyline GT-R from 2 Fast 2 Furious, and 76914 Ferrari 812 Competizione) and is the only 8-stud Porsche prototype to date — the 6-stud 919 Hybrid sets are predecessors at the older scale.

Build highlights

The standout build moment is the rear bodywork — the 963's twin-element rear wing and printed exhaust-and-diffuser deck land particularly well at 8-stud. The front-end has the LMDh-distinctive raised fender humps either side of the splitter, achieved via 1×2 curved-slope inversions. The Porsche Penske Motorsport No. 6 livery is rendered with stickers across the doors, hood, and roof — a higher-than-average sticker count for a single-vehicle set, as is normal for printed-livery race cars.

What the 280 pieces buys you

280 pieces, one driver minifigure, and a 17 cm-long display car — putting it on a par dimensionally with the 76918 McLaren F1 LM. The build runs across 3 instruction bags. Display orientation is strongly side-on or three-quarter front, where the front fender humps and rear wing read most clearly.

Minifigure

One driver minifigure in white-and-red Porsche Penske Motorsport race overalls, with a Porsche logo on the chest. The helmet is unique to 76916. No additional accessories.
