Porsche 935

Das Fahrzeug im Detail

The 2019 Porsche 935 was formally in 2018 at Laguna Seca Raceway in California during the Rennsport Reunion VI. Coinciding with Porsche’s 70th anniversary, it is a modern homage to the original 935 race car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and contributed to Porsche’s dominance in motorsports. With a limited production of just 77 units, the 935/19 was only available to Porsche’s top clients and all order slots were quickly spoken for.

Like its historic predecessor, the 935/19 combines a stunning and aggressive exterior design with cutting edge technology underneath. Based on the 991.2-generation 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, most of the body has been replaced or supplemented with carbon fibre composite parts. Its 700-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine paired with Porsche’s seven-speed, automated manual PDK gearbox can launch it from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 211 mph.

In profile, the 935/19 resembles the fabled 935/78 long-body derivative of the Seventies, whose massive rear wing earned it the nickname „Moby Dick.“ Far from just a style statement, the aggressive bodywork is aerodynamically optimized to improve stability and driving dynamics. Fully FIA-compliant, the 935/19 features an integrated, welded-in roll cage, an escape hatch in the roof, an electrically triggered fire-extinguishing system, and a special Recaro wrap-around racing bucket seat with six-point safety harness and cushions that can be adjusted laterally to accommodate different body sizes. A similarly configured passenger seat was among an extensive list of racing-oriented options.

The interior is trimmed in a combination of carbon-fiber and Alcantara. Air conditioning is standard, along with a central locking system. A semi-circular, quick-release, multi-function steering wheel includes a pit speed-limiter control. Other details borrowed from Porsche’s purest race cars include special LED lighting, rear-view mirrors, aerodynamic wheel covers, and dual exhaust outlets with “cookie-cutter” baffles.

A factory spares package was a $44k option when new.
