The Porsche 935 is one of those ubiquitous cars that every enthusiast is at least somewhat familiar with. If you are a motorsports fan, then the 935’s commanding success from essentially its inception in the ’70s to departure in the ’90s is nothing short of inspirational.
A fan of engineering triumphs? Then the clever work that geniuses like Norbert Singer performed between the black and white lines of sanctioning body written scripture is the stuff of legend. If you’re a pop culture nerd like yours truly, then you’ve got a Martini-liveried 935/75 that transforms into a robot sitting safely in a display case behind you.
The 935 is unquestionably a legendary vehicle. It could very well be considered ‘peak Porsche,’ and that is why the German automaker saw fit to both remaster and rerelease the model in 2019.
The original version of the 935 cemented its place in history through hard-earned victories on the track. But despite being cut from the same cloth, the 2019 model remains largely unproven.
In 2018, Trevor quipped that he wasn’t sold on the hype around the new 935. To summarize Trevor’s point, he was impressed with the car on paper, but felt it wasn’t actually ever built to be raced. I’m not good at this whole ‘cars as investments’ thing, but if Porsche prices are any indication, many P cars are in fact better financial shortcuts to retirement than they are enthusiast vehicles.
Only 77 build spots have been made available for the 935, and they are already reselling for double the original price of US$785,998.
