Celebrating their 70th anniversary at Rennsport Reunion, Porsche’s Motorsport department have created a homage to the 1970’s 935 “Moby Dick” race car. Based from a 991 generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the 2019 Porsche 935 is not a homologated car for championship racing, with all 77 examples expected to be raced at club motorsport events and at track days.
The most notable changes for the 935 compared to the GT2 RS is the long bodywork with big overhangs, a look that is characteristic of the 935 “Moby Dick” race cars of the 1970’s. The bodywork is constructed with lightweight carbon fibre composites, and the interior is fitted out with a full roll cage, carbon dash and bucket seats. Full racing requirements in mind, Porsche’s Motorsport department have fitted air jacks for pit stops, a data logger and instrument panel from the 911 RSR, and an emergency escape hatch in the roof. The impressive red coloured wheels are 18-inch in size, forged with centre-locks, and a width of 11.5-inch in the front and 13-inch in the rear.
