The Type 935/76 engine of the 956 had a 92.3 mm bore and 66 mm stroke, resulting in a displacement of 2649 cc. Boosted by two KKK Type K26 turbochargers with a maximum pressure of 1.2 bar, it delivered its maximum output of 620 PS at 8,200 rpm and the highest torque of 630 Nm was available at 5,400 rpm. In the years that followed the car’s debut, this engine – which in essence was barely changed – was modified in terms of bore and stroke to produce further engine versions with displacements of 2994 cc (Type 935/79, 935/82, 935/83) and 3164 cc (Type 935/79, 935/86).
