In 2019, Porsche brought back the 935 brand with this race car built on the 911 GT2 RS. It has a 3.8-liter flat-six twin-turbo engine that makes 700 horsepower. The black Porsche 935 that won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1979 looked like this. It had pink, orange, and red stripes. Only 77 2019 935 cars were made by Porsche. Last year, this one sold at auction for $1,325,000. Look at this 2019 Porsche 935 and then read about its past. Look at the beautiful vents cut into the carbon-fiber composite body panels, enjoy the sleek shape, and look at the vast back wing. Give yourself time to get lost in the deep black tone. Only 77 of this tribute to the famous 935 race car were made, making it both very rare and very beautiful. It’s not often that a 2019 935 is up for sale, but this one is on Bring a Trailer right now—Hearst Autos and Invoice Pricing on this site. If you sell everything you own, you can get it. With its name, the 2018 Porsche 935 pays respect to the race car that won the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans. Even though the 935’s victory in France is its most famous race car win, the slant-nosed, turbocharged race car was even stronger in the United States of America, where various Porsche 935s have won the 24 Hours of Daytona for the past six years in a row. In 1979, Porsche did not enter a car with factory help, but a customer team called Interscope Racing won the Daytona event with a 935. Danny Ongais, Hurley Haywood, and Ted Field, the team owner and co-founder of Interscope Records with Jimmy Iovine, drove the zero Porsche 935 to the top of the podium. As they led the race to the finish line, their shiny black car with pink and red stripes that flowed across it looked incredibly stunning. This 2019 model’s paint job is a tribute to the win at Daytona in 1979. The broad stripes emphasize the car’s sleek and beautiful shape. This track-only item is a tribute to the famous 911 GT2 RS. It has a smooth, flat top and a long, “longtail” shape, made even longer by the massive wing. The case is made of steel and metal and holds a 3.8-liter flat-six engine with two turbochargers and 700 horsepower. The power goes to the back wheels through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission paired with the engine. The 935 also had a limited-slip differential, tunable dampers, a roll cage that was welded in, and a fuel cell that could hold about 30 gallons. The 935 has side mirrors from the 911 RSR race car and BBS 18-inch center-lock wheels. The driver handles the car while sitting in a Recaro carbon-fiber race seat and using a carbon steering wheel shaped like a yolk. In the world of race cars, air conditioning is a luxury. The 935 also has an excellent wood gear knob. Unfortunately, the modern 935 was never allowed in a racing series. As a result, many of these track monsters are now kept as works of art in bright garages instead of being driven around the track. At the Pebble Beach Gooding & Company sale, this 935 was the 49th one ever made. Its first owner drove it just 17 miles before selling it to the dealer for $1,325,000. There are now 90 miles since the owner added 73 more. The factory-supplied spare parts package, an extra $44,000 when the car was brand new, is on this type. The base price 935 was $1,048,080, which did not include the $27,500 Daytona special race livery. Bidding has already topped that amount, with bids at $1,050,935, and the sale ends on November 8.
