by An impressive Porsche 935 K3 from 1979 was spotted in Germany. Essentially, this is the first Porsche supercar, and there is only one such car in existence.
In general, the Porsche 935 is a pure racing model based on the very first 911 Turbo. In 1979, the car won the 24-hour race in Le Mans and actually won more than 150 different competitions throughout its career.
However, Austrian millionaire and Formula 1 team owner Walter Wolf wanted to drive the Porsche 935 not on race tracks but on regular roads. He approached the German atelier Kremer to create a “civilian” version of the car for him.
Kremer decided to settle for minimal modifications – they replaced the tires, made the suspension softer, and installed the necessary lights. The interior saw more comfortable Recaro seats, power windows, and an audio system with 16 speakers.
The engine was untouched – the three-liter turbocharged six-cylinder provides the same 740 hp as in the racing Porsche 935 K3 and works with a 4-speed manual transmission. During tests on the autobahn, the Porsche supercar reached a speed of 338 km/h.
Rumor has it that this project cost Walter Wolf around $800,000 ($3 million at the current exchange rate). However, he drove it just under 10,000 km and sold the car to a collector in 1987. Since then, the Porsche 935 K3 has changed hands several times and occasionally impresses visitors at various car shows.
By the way, not everyone knows that the Porsche 935 also belonged to Pablo Escobar. In fact, the drug lord participated in races with it.
