Widely considered as one of Porsche's most elusive car models, the Porsche 935 was recently seen been test driven at Monza in Italy. The Porsche 935 sported an all-black matte color which added to the beast's surreptitious façade.
Affectionately called "Moby Dick", the Porsche 935 is covered in mystique and adorned with nostalgia. The new version of the 935 still retains its classic look with upgrades that add to its more modern look.
Porsche have not picked a much better time to revive the beloved 935. The legendary car is widely billed as a homage to the luxury carmaker's 70th anniversary. However, instead of its ubiquitous retro livery, the new Porsche 935 packs a more serious guise during its whole run at the Monza circuit.
Adorned in nothing but black matte paint, the Porsche 935 looks as menacing as it sounds. Many have also pointed out that the 935 is summoning some sort of Batman-esque style. The full black façade also adds a tinge of the sinister look to the already menacing beast.
Another surprising feature revealed on the video is just how much sinister sounding the Porsche 935 is. The car's growl is reminiscent of an angry beast. The 935's sound is a monumental evidence of the car's massive 911 GT2 R2 engine hidden underneath its hood.
The beating heart of this machine packs a 3.8-liter twin turbo flat six engine capable of producing up to 700 horsepower which is delivered to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK paddle shift gearbox.
Another surprising feature that left Porsche 935 a must-have for loyal fans is the fact that it is not designed to be road legal. Porsche said that the 935 will be a track exclusive and will be released in limited numbers. The luxury carmaker has confirmed that only 77 models will be released and see just how impressive the 935 is, all of these might have been ordered already.
The Porsche 935's design, both external and internal, also gave nods and homage to other iconic Porsche models. One of this homages is the wooden gear knob which is a clear nod to that of the Porsche 917.
The Porsche 935 was unveiled at Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca. It was one of the carmaker's sets of cars that commemorate the company's 70th anniversary. While only 77 of these beasts will be released, each one also comes with a massive price tag of £750,000.
