Porsche released the 935 in 1976, affectionately known as 'Moby Dick' because of its overall shape. It is the racing version of the 930 (911 Turbo Model). Initially conceived to race in FIA Group 5, 935s raced in several series, including the World Sports Car Championship, the IMSA Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft. They dominated wherever they appeared. Factory development stopped after the 935/78 in 1978.
When factory development stops, tuner development begins. The best-known iteration came from Kremer Racing of Cologne, Germany. These cars are identifiable by their unique body configuration as well as a potent, twin-turbocharged, 3.2-liter flat six-cylinder motor producing upwards of 740 horsepower.
Chassis #000 00013 shown has a race history beginning at the 1980 24 Hours of LeMans and ending at Sebring in 1985. The car has had various sponsors such as Jagermeister and Coca-Cola. It has been driven by the likes of Bob Wolleck, Bob Akin and Craig Siebert.
This car has an illustrious European and American racing history, beginning at the 1980 24 Hours of LeMans and ending at Sebring in 1985. It has been driven by the likes of 2007 Amelia Honoree Derek Bell, Bob Wolleck, Bob Akin and Craig Sebert. The 'K3' (this denoted that it was the third variation of the basic 935) was constructed by the Kremer brothers using a factory Porsche tub. Thirteen K3s were constructed by Kremer. The most important differences from other 935s include a 3.2-liter engine, air-to-air intercooler system, lowered chassis, high down-force composite body design, stiffened and extended roll cage, and larger KKK turbos. The Kremer Porsche compression ratio of 7.2:1 and 1.7 bar boost developed 800 hp at 8000 RPM. Even with the boost turned down to 1.4 bar, the engine developed 740 horsepower at 7800 RPM. The 935 K3 was capable of speeds over 200 mph.
