Porsche 935 (2019)
The 2019 Porsche 935 is a 77-unit track-only tribute: GT2 RS Clubsport mechanicals under Moby Dick-inspired bodywork, sold to collectors as a 700 hp homage to the 1970s original — and now one of the most traded modern Porsche specials.
History
Porsche marked its 70th sports-car anniversary by indulging itself: the 2019 935 wrapped the 991 GT2 RS Clubsport — 3.8 twin-turbo flat-six, PDK, full racing electronics — in long-tail bodywork channelling the 935/78 'Moby Dick', complete with wheel-arch louvres, LED strip tail and a laser-cut titanium exhaust. Just 77 were built at Weissach, each around €700,000 plus taxes, none road-legal, none homologated for any championship.
Deliveries came in liveries quoting the 935's period wardrobe — Martini, Vaillant green, Momo, Interscope — and the car's purpose was explicit: Porsche's Sonderwunsch-adjacent track programme, demonstration events and the collector market's appetite for driveable sculpture.
That market has answered enthusiastically: 935s appear at auction and broker listings with low delivery-style mileage, trading above original list, their value tracking the modern-collector Porsche curve alongside the 991 Speedster and GT2 RS. A handful see genuine track programmes and club-event use (some clubs and invitational series accept them), but most live as garage royalty — the rare racing-shaped Porsche whose buying guide is more about paperwork than lap times.
Palmarès
None by design — the 935 (2019) was never homologated for competition. Its record is cultural: sell-out before public announcement, headline appearances at Porsche's Rennsport gatherings and demonstration programmes, and a secondary-market performance stronger than most contemporary racing Porsches with actual trophies.
What to check before you buy
This is collector diligence, not race-car diligence: verify the car's build number (all 77 documented by Porsche), original delivery specification and livery, Porsche service history and hours (most show single-digit track days), and completeness of delivery items — car cover, spares, documentation folio all affect price. Crash history matters enormously at this rarity: Clubsport-based repairs are documented through Porsche Motorsport. Confirm what you're buying it FOR — no championship homologation exists, so usage is club track days, demonstrations and invitationals. Transaction channel is brokers and auction houses; comparables are public and recent.
Did you know
- All 77 cars sold before Porsche publicly revealed the model at Rennsport Reunion 2018 — the waiting list was longer than the build allocation.
- The side-mirrors come from the 911 RSR GTE car and the titanium exhaust pattern quotes the 908 — the 935 is a parts-bin museum of Porsche racing.
- Period-livery choices split collector values: Martini and Vaillant cars consistently out-price identical mechanically specced siblings at resale.
