Vi kan ikke annet enn å måpe over Porsches 70-årshyllest i form av nye 935. Det blir bygget 77 eksemplarer av retroraceren som også blir sviende dyr.
På 70-tallet satte Porsche en støkk i racingverdenen med sin 935/7 som kjørte fletta av det meste. Kjælenavnet «Moby Dick» gikk raskt inn i historien for turbo-Porschen som feide konkurransen av banen og har vært legendarisk siden. Feiringen er basert på at selakspet har produsert sportsbiler i 70 år.
Nå under den store Porsche-happeningen Rennsport Reunion i California på Laguna Seca, valgte Porsche å slippe bursdagsgaven til selv i form av en moderne klone av ikonet som er tuftet på råskinnet GT2 RS. Det blir lagd 77 stykk av nye 935 til den nette pris av 701.000 Euro – med en klar beskjed til eierne om at singleseateren kun kan brukes på bane. Så får vi se hvor lang tid det tar til noen får omgått regelverket med gategodkjenning. For det vil skje…
