This race Porsche gets license plates!

The very rare Porsche 935, designed exclusively for competition, is now adaptable for road use.

Well, let’s address the question right away: no, such a fancy idea didn’t originate in the brain of a French person. But from an Englishman, specifically the specialist tuner of McLaren F1 (the real ones from the 1990s), Lanzante.

It’s pretty nice to be rich, but I mean “really rich.” This allows you, if you’re a sports car enthusiast, to stand out from the “common folk” who might have Ferrari or other mundane vehicles produced in several thousand copies (just kidding!). Like buying and registering, for road use, a Porsche 935. A car initially conceived in 2019 exclusively for competition and produced in only 77 units. Its price was then 850,000 euros excluding taxes.

A somewhat special Porsche 911 GT2 RS

In fact, the Porsche 935 is a re-bodied version stripped of excess of the very high-performance Porsche 911 GT2 RS type 991. Its engine is a 3.8-liter flat 6 twin-turbo with 700 horsepower and its transmission is a PDK dual-clutch with 7 gears.

At the request of two owners, Lanzante set about converting this race car into a vehicle duly certified for civil use. The development and engineering program took just under 18 months.

The road conversion includes a unique suspension configuration, newly designed wheels, improved braking with an integrated handbrake, a custom electronic system, and the symbiotic integration of custom headlights into the aerodynamic body. These were developed to mimic the pre-existing hood air intakes and, like the other upgrades, are designed to look like factory-installed original equipment.

In the world of ultra-luxury, no price details have been disclosed. It’s just so trivial…
