Lot 226: 1973 Porsche 911 / 935 Specification

The Porsche 935 was introduced in 1976 as a competition development of the 911 Turbo although it was to evolve out of all recognition and, along the way, acquire an entirely new engine. Even when still basically a 911 derivative, it won most rounds of the World Championship of Makes and secured the title for Porsche. From then until Group C arrived in 1982 it was the main weapon in Porsche's armoury; it won the vast majority of World Championship races and gave Porsche the title every single year except 1981. In some ways the IMSA wins were even more significant than the 935's incredible run in the World Championship of Makes. They were run by privateers and in some years the level of competition which the 935's faced in IMSA was actually higher than in Europe. It was these privateers who often experimented with regular production models to great effect. Andrew Mirow was one such man, a well known road/race specialist based in Germany, he took a 911 coupe and set about the painstaking transformation in 1997. The body was created by Folger with front/rear skirts and double deck wing with a DP-Motorsport group 4 rear apron. Brakes are taken from a 3.3 litre unit with hydraulic brake power regulators, braided brake hoses and Ferodo DS 3000 racing linings with active brake bleeding. The rubber consists of Fuchs shod Pirelli P-Zero's with power coming through from a Type 930 4-speed with differential lock. Engine output has been increased to 580 hp at 6800 rpm with 1.2 bar boost pressure, fuel arrives via twin feed pumps and a mechanical induction pipe with individual throttle valves along side a charge air cooler/collector, K&N X-Stream and twin type K26 KKK turbochargers. Creature comforts are equally sparse in the cockpit with Konig supplying the fibreglass competition seating, cockpit shielding, a full Meico 8-point cage and fire extinguisher with remote triggering and filling. The view from the drivers seat begins with the correct OMP 35 racing dished steering wheel with instruments including exhaust gas temperature meter, fuel/air mixture by Racimex and adjustable in-car front/rear brake bias. All this and more appears on a comprehensive and stratospherically expensive build sheet and additional file of information which accompanies the car.Cette puissante Berlinette de compétition est un choix idéal pour prendre la route ou le circuit.
