The construction and development time for the vehicle was around 2½ years, from 1971 to 1973.
The first test drives took place in August 1973 on the F1 race track in Albi, southern France.
Porsche itself soon became aware of this vehicle and, after thorough evaluation, Chanabe was given permission by the factory to use the Porsche name for his car.
The vehicle was used by various owners in France in hill climb and circuit races from 1974 to 1990.
Ultimately, the prototype was owned by the race track operator of Spa Francorchamps before being sold to Germany.
