Kremer created the CK5 in 1982 until the new Porsche 956 was available to customers. Using a 908/936 chassis, a twin-turbo 2.8L six-cyliner engine from a 935 and a 917 transaxle and rear suspension, Kremer set out to camapign in the World Endurance Championship Group C cars. This car (Ch. CK05-01) did quite well in the DRM series, being sold in 1983 to Porsche privateer Richard Cleare Racing and the engine was increased to 3.0L. At Le Mans in 1983 it was placed as high as 10th, with a top speed of over 221 mph, before a dropped valve in the 4th hour ended its race. At Le Mans in 1983, it was driven by Richard Cleare, Tony Dron and Richard Jones.
