Which manufacturer holds the record for the most Le Mans overall wins?

The story behind the answer

Which manufacturer holds the record for the most Le Mans overall wins? Porsche holds it, with 19 overall victories.

Porsche’s first overall triumph came in 1970, when Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood won with the Porsche 917. The marque followed that breakthrough with another 917 victory in 1971, then added wins with the 936, 956, 962C, Dauer 962, WSC-95, 911 GT1, and 919 Hybrid. Its most recent overall victory was achieved by the 919 Hybrid in 2017.

The record is for overall victories, not class wins. That distinction matters because Le Mans awards results across several classes, and a manufacturer can accumulate many class victories without winning the race outright. Porsche also has an enormous class-win total, but that is a separate statistic.

Audi is the nearest major rival among the listed options, with 13 overall wins, while Ferrari has 12 and Toyota has six after its 2026 victory. Porsche’s seven consecutive overall wins from 1981 through 1987 are another Le Mans record.
