Porsche has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans overall a record 19 times.
The German marque’s record was built across several eras of endurance racing. Porsche’s first overall victory came in 1970 with the Porsche 917, driven by Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood for Porsche Salzburg. The company then established a remarkable modern run with seven consecutive overall wins from 1981 through 1987, using cars such as the 956 and 962.
Porsche’s total refers to overall race victories, not class wins. That distinction matters at Le Mans, where several classes can produce winners during the same event. Porsche also holds a much larger record for class victories, which is why its overall total is sometimes mixed up with its broader win statistics.
Audi is the next most successful marque in overall victories, while Ferrari follows behind it. Toyota has become a major modern force, but its total remains well below Porsche’s record. The question asks for the manufacturer or marque with the most overall wins, making Porsche the single canonical answer.
