Porsche first started turbocharging their tried-and-true six cylinder engine in 1973 and what followed for the next eight years was complete dominance of Group Five racing by this engine, most notably as the power-plant within the 935 model
First introduced in 1976 with a single turbo, the 935 won races in Europe as well as in the IMSA series in the United States.
Arguably the most successful of any 935 to ever race, this example competed in a total of 62 races, competing at the Le Mans 24 Hour four times, and 12 Hours of Sebring five times. This car was second overall at Le Mans in 1979; finished 1st overall at the Daytona 24 Hour in 1981 with 2011 with Bobby Rahal driving and won at Sebring in the 12 Hour event in 1983 re-configured to 934 specifications.
