The car was named Moby Dick because of the color and shape of the body. It was first raced at Silverstone in the 6 hours World Manufacturer's Championships in May of 1978 - It won the race. The car also raced at Le Mans that year and was the fastest car on the circuit clocking at over 225 mph. It finished a disappointing 8th due to fuel problems. At the end of the 1978 season, the car ended its short career and was put in the Porsche Museum.
