Porsche 935 K3 #05 IMSA Daytona 24hr (TrueScale 1:18)

  

Compared to the 930, the front section of the 935 is very flat because the headlights 

were moved under the bumper instead and in place of vents were installed. This improves 

the much-needed downforce on the front axle. Another feature of the Porsche 935 is the 

rear wing, which was mounted on the tail fin of the series 930th When the brakes came 

from Porsche 917 used. 

The weight was about 970 kg.

The engine power of the turbos in 1976 amounted to about a turbocharger at 433 kW (590 hp) in 1977 by Bi-Turbo was increased further in 1978 with the legendary "Moby Dick" even reached 620 kW (845 hp). Here, however, the engine capacity to 3211 cc was extended, the cylinder heads with four valves were water-cooled. 

The "Moby Dick" is thus the most powerful car that has ever been 

developed from the 911 out. The top speed of this car was 366 km / h So 

that the engine could survive the race when temperatures produced harmless addition 

to the classic air-cooled cylinder heads were also cooled with water.

A special version introduced the so-called "baby" that the two races in 1977 in the 

small division (up to 2.0 liters, turbo factor of 1.4) of the German Racing Championship was 

used. Porsche aims was to show that you can win there too, if you like. The capacity was 

halved to 1425 cm ³, the power dropped to 272 kW (370 hp), the weight was slimmed down 

to 750 kg. After the debut at the Norisring, the "Baby" won with Jacky Ickx at the wheel on 

the Hockenheimring against the turbos from BMW and Ford , with which the mission 

was accomplished and the car wandered into the museum.

The Porsche 935 dominated the race from 1976 to 1981 in Group 5 for vehicles with more than two liters. It was not until 1979 it was the competitor with the newly developed Lancia Lancia Beta Monte Carlo Turbo Group 5, the Porsche 935 in the class to replace 2l capacity, and in 1980 as the overall winner in the World Sports Car Championship. 

Thus, in the debut year of the car was immediately branded world champion (along with the Porsche 936 in the sports car world championship ). The success was repeated in 1977, thanks to the customer teams. 

Famous pilots of 935 were Jacky Ickx , Jochen Mass , Klaus Ludwig , Rolf Stommelen , Manfred Winkelhock and especially Bob Wollek that was never factory driver.

Yes! For big boys
