Porsche 935: Moby Dick Is Back!
It has been presented at the Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca. We are talking about one of the many gifts for Porsche’s 70th anniversary. Paying tribute to the legendary 935/78 which was precisely nicknamed Moby Dick because of its immense aerodynamics, it is nothing more than the result of a work in complete freedom for designers and engineers, who were able to give free rein to their innermost desires, since this car will not be registered for road use.
Based on the new GT2 RS – one of the most deadly performance weapons out there – only 77 will be produced and will be the ultimate joy of those who will not keep them collecting dust in some luxurious garages. Through a sort of collage, thanks to the LED headlights of the 919 Hybrid LMP1 or the mirrors borrowed from the 911 RSR, Moby Dick continues its tributes to the original race car with wheels inspired by the design fitted on the model that raced at Le Mans on at end of the 70s, while in the cockpit there are references to the equally mythical 917, for example the wooden lacquered gear lever knob.
In addition to having the possibility of asking it with a second seat, there is obviously a safety structure, six-point belts and air conditioning, while the engine (borrowed from the GT2 RS) is a 3.8 flat-six twin-turbo, able to deliver 690hp through a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK gearbox. Finally, several possibilities to set driving aids and choose first-hand the level of hero you want to be. Prices starting from just over € 700,000 (excluding taxes).
