Lucio, I agree, but I find that the "Moby Dick" version is even a tad prettier. I was always impressed by the fact that this car had so much torque that a four-speed gearbox sufficed.
I've read that the top speed was beyond 350 km/h (210 mph). Imagine that with a four-speed gearbox! Addition: Here are some data: Power: 750 hp at 8200 rpm; torque: 80 kgm at 6500 rpm. 80 kgm !!

Although I am more of a Ferrari fan (what's new?  ) I fully agree about those Porsches. They are georgeous. Porsche build many fantastic race cars (908, 917) but the 935 is an iconic design by itself. I have quite a few models in different liveries in my collection, unfortunately not (yet) the Jägermeister colors. |

Gentlemen, The whole evolution of the 911 during the 1970s, from R to RS to RSR, to turbocharged RSR and, as Lucio describes, the "awesome and terrifying" 934/935s, was fascinating. Each dramatic advance was like a Christmas gift for race fans. I was fortunate to see them all over the years at Riverside Raceway, Laguna Seca and Ontario Motor Speedway's very good road course and could imagine myself driving each of the 911s (at most at 7/10ths), but the 934 and 935 were so scary-fast I would have hesitated even to be a passenger. The very first International Race of Champions (IROC) used 911 Carrera RSRs engineered and set-up by Mark Donohue. It was interesting to see that even the oval track specialists were able to drive one without embarrassing themselves too much. NASCAR drivers Bobby Allison and David Pearson were exceptionally talented road racers and are shown dicing for the lead with Emerson Fittipaldi in the film attachment. The film's first 25 seconds show (without explanation) A.J. Foyt avoiding several crashing cars on the final lap of the 1967 Indy 500... this turns out to be an abrupt editing of the driver profiles. Unfortunately not of the highest quality video and audio, it features only the early laps of the first year's IROC race at Riverside. I was there in my usual seat at the Turn 6 grandstand: aisle B, row 24. If you have vision like the young Stirling Moss, I am the one in the BSA tee shirt being generally disruptive. Riverside was so cool... I would call the ticket office and they would honor my exact seat requests. No exorbitant "personal seat license" extra charge most sporting venues now demand, sometimes for an entire year of events. Attachment Deleted |

Not a 935 but ... What a spectacular photo! (even if less spectacular perhaps might be faster).
