P86....

The WM P83 was a prototype racecar produced between 1983 and 1986 by Welter Racing. The cars were used in the 24-hour race at Le Mans.
The chassis was a monocoque construction and the body extended down over the rear wheels, a typical feature of a Welter Racing Car. Gérard Welter was an aerodynamics expert as well as a vehicle designer who previously worked at Peugeot. He worked using a wind tunnel to test his designs. A huge rear wing ensured the down force needed over the rear axle. The P83 was fitted with a Peugeot 2.8-litre 6-cylinder turbo engine which produced nearly 420hp.

Actually was another outsider car on the grid, with only few unsuccessfull finishes.
