Today we show you in a video how a motorsport icon is created. The racing car in question is the new Porsche 935 from Weissach. It gets the adrenaline pumping of every motorsport fan. Porsche only wants to build a small series of a total of 935 copies of the 77 remake.
The Moby Dick in the racing circuit
On the occasion of Porsche's 70th anniversary, the 700 hp racing car celebrated its premiere at the Rennsport-Reunion 2018. It is powered by a water-cooled and double-charged 3,8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine.
Because of its shape, it was affectionately known as “Moby Dick”.
It was one of the most extreme GT racing cars, which was particularly successful at Le Mans. The new 935 pays homage to the classic, the Porsche 935/78. Based on Porsche RS 911 GT2 (991.2) a historic motorsport legend has been revived from the ground up.
Porsche 935 - the stuff dreams are made of
The 935 is the stuff every motorsport fan's dreams are made of. Many of them will never come to light in collections, let alone be used on the race track. The 935 in the video shows the origin of the former motorsport legend.
In this video, designer Grant Larson, 935 project manager Kay-Alexander Breitbach and Matthias Scholz, overall project manager for Porsche GT customer racing, explain the development steps of the new 935 and present its design highlights in detail.
You can order the new Porsche 935 at a price of 701.948 euros, plus the applicable country tax. The racing vehicles will be delivered to customers from June 2019.
