The 935 is the only gt-class car that ever managed to score an overall win at LeMans against even the prototype-class cars. Thats why this is such a special and legendary machine.
@@kyongslist technically, the mclaren was still a production car. The racing variant of the mclaren is closer to the road car than the 935 is to the 911, thats why it was a group 5 rather than a group 4 car. And no, just because a car wasnt sold in great quantities doesnt mean its not a production car. "idiot"
I will always show childlike enthusiasm for motorsports. Im now a 34 year old kid. Lol If you don't experience childlike excitement from these exhaust notes I don't know what to tell you. You probably need to find something else to enjoy.
You should've seen them racing balls-to-the-wall for the win back in the late 70s like I did at Daytona 24! Practically bulletproof & uncatchable, & those that managed to get close rarely lasted half the race. I was only 10 or 11 at the time, & watching Ongais pilot that Interscope #0 in the lead 'round the oval at night is still burnt on the brain. So unbelievably fast & yet surprisingly quiet, with his shifts discernable by the flame lighting the track behind him(this was way before they lit the track & put that unneeded dumb chicane in). To a kid it was like a spaceship straight out of the Jetsons! Their addictive speed, noises, & flames spitting out like angry dragons hooked me on sports car racing for life & still brings a smile! I could never tire of the glorious 935, even just idling its unique whirling sound of massive hp waiting to be turned loose is so addicting. Speaks volumes for these pretty girls that I practically grew up in the track at Daytona & nothing else compares.
Damn it you are absolutely right. The turbo sound right from the start up is awesome! Never heard something like that before! It sounds evil like hell 😍
Jeff Williams what a sight to behold. The glowing hot side of the turbos and exhaust, along with the flames and glowing brakes, I've seen what happens to an rx7 with a big turbo, but not Moby Dick.
I am lucky enough to have a dad cool enough to have taken me to see these beauties race for real back in the 80s. The sound of the 935 is permanently burned in my brain!
I love these cars!👍😍 Heavily boosted, fire-spitting beasts that go like hell and make all the right noises! Thanks for this killer videography, Bozzy and crew! Excellent work!💪👏❤👍
Group 5 is probabily my favorite racing category ever done, even more then GT1 and Group C. I should have been born "a few" years before to enjoy them poperly :'( Thanks as always
19Bozzy92 I understand how you may feel that way, but I'm glad you came along when you did, Bozzy. Otherwise, your video camera would weigh 10-12 kilograms (without the tripod) and have a full-size VCR tape inside. As a result, the quality would suffer tremendously with about 240 lines of resolution.😔😝😝 A few years and a guy with your talent have made the world a much better place.😉
In my opinion, Porsche has always set the bench mark by which all other race cars are designed, manufactured and tested. I've been to Le Man quite a few times back in the 1970's. I remember all too well how dominant the 935's were. That sound. The look. That amazing grip. No, these Porsches were in a league of their own. All that was required was a driver with grit, guts and a devil may care attitude. I can attest to how loud they are. I was fortunate to stand on several different corners as the 935 slowed just enough. Within mere feet, this car will blow your eardrums if you're not properly protected. I have many beautiful pictures of the 935's in the paddock area. I paid allot for a pass to see the goings on. I saw mechanics using women's nylons cleaning engine parts. I saw things only a true gear head would appreciate. It was enough to bring tears to my eyes to see these Porsches. I also was able to see the 917 on display along with so many other cars was previous races gone by. Its hard to comprehend the enormous cost of all those cars in one tiny area. I estimated it to be near several millions of dollars or greater. For me, the Gulf 917 was the show stopper. Today's race cars at Le Man are very beautiful, but the technology has all but killed that "grit". I'll take a 935 Martini Turbo against anything running at Le Man today. It might not be the fastest and it might not take first place, but it owns that track! Technology has all but ruined it for me. I understand though, why so much emphasis is placed on it. However, I grew up in an era where racing was all man and machine. You built it. You raced it. It was that simple. Even Formula 1 is too much about technology and perfection. I grew up on the likes of the Ferrari 312. Niki Lauda was always my most favorite driver. Followed by James Hunt. Man those men could bring tears to my eyes they were so damn great at racing. Today......pfffft. The 935 is a true legend. Nothing will ever follow it. Watch these videos. I was there when these raced head to head with all manner of race cars. They chewed them up, spit them out. They were that dominant. I was also fortunate to get a ride in one. That was the highlight of my last time at Le Man. God I love that track, that race, the people and yes, those amazing Porsches. Thank you Ferdinand🇩🇪
@@sandeepson3030 the tribute 935 is "just" a 911 GT2 RS and according to test driver is not as good on track due to its size and visibility. Its not built as a race car but as a customer limited edition tribute car. Anyway even the new one looks great. Can't wait to see the new 963!
At 1:33 listen to one of the best examples of turbo lag I've ever heard out of a race car :-) Also, the flame at 1:45 is absolutely beautiful. Actually, just watch the whole video....this thing is a veritable flamethrower! What a car.
It is probably because of videos like these and the people running these cars on track that make this car my favorite classic car of all time. thanks Bozzy!
It was a great privilege to have a passenger ride round Spa in a 935.about 10 years ago. We did 10 laps dicing with a 5 litre z4 Gt race car on shake down . The 935 lapped Paul Ricard faster than F1 Record when new.
Can't wait to rip the 935 around the tracks in Project CARS 2. I hope the Lancia Beta Montecarlo Group 5 will make it into the game too with a DLC or something.
Edward Bellus haha Ed I reckon every driver says that!!👍 there is a documentary on the 935 and Allan Moffatt (Australian touring car driver from the 70’s and 80’s) he had a drive of the 935 at leman at night in the rain he looked totally drained and relieved not to be out there a bit a great driver with a lot of guts I wouldn’t get in it as a passenger lol!
@@MultiDesignGuy The 935K3 took after the many variants of the 917 in that regard. these weren't an easy car to drive fast because of all that weight hanging out over the rear.

@@edwardglamuzina3421 The aerodynamics of the short-tailed 917 became an issue at high speed, despite the obvious fact that it was mid-engined, unlike the rear-engined 935.

Dammit Bozzy, how can you read my mind? I was just looking at pics of the Apple livery 935 today, and you're busting out a video of this legendary car. Wish new day race cars had such a sound backdrop!
The scene at 4:29 pretty well sums up Group-5 in the late 70s -- a 935 goes by spitting flames, an M1 goes by in mid-pack, but sounding and looking marvelous, another 934.5 goes past spitting flames, and then after a moment a Lancia goes past -- trailing a plume of smoke.
Hahaa! Big Boy Toys for sure, Keepers of the Flame more like. What a display, can't wait to watch again with Magpie she'll love it! Nice work and Thanks. B.P.

1:54 the lancia screams but those K3s roar. Absolutely the worlds coolest toy
I attended 1987 Daytona 24 hour. Watching these vehicles at night, exhaust flames and glowing brake rotors, was incredible
The first 935, right at the start. My favourite clip on all of TH-cam. That beautiful turbo whistle spooling up.
Damn it you are absolutely right. The turbo sound right from the start up is awesome! Never heard something like that before! It sounds evil like hell 😍
Hearing those turbos spool to life at the very beginning was probably one of the coolest parts of this video

Flames on the overrun - always a good thing!
Fantastic video big bozz! What a great sound
Thanks! ;)
these cars are amazing. I've only seen them stationary. This would have been so good
It was incredible. I went to races with my dad as a kid (24 hours of Daytona). These cars were dominant in the early 80s and sounded beautiful!
Spectacular video!!! Thank you for sharing this!
No problem! Glad you liked it
These things are insane!
I love the sadistic engineer that decided to put the rear tow hook right in between the ridiculously hot exhaust and wastegate pipes on the DP
How is that even allowed?
Its so hot back there the Tow Strap would light on fire...
Brake light? Nah that's too mainstream.
Flame spit while braking is the old school way. 🔥
935 : What a car !!!!! thanks for this vid !
No problem!
DAYUM!!!!!! You'd better have that car pointed where you wanted it to go when the turbo hit!!!!!
This is one of those I like before I even watch... lol.
Now all we need is some 80's rock music blasting.
BTW you like Jazz?
I see you are a man or culture as well
Well this is beening watched in 2024 😂❤
Best cold start ever
You can bring the soul of the track to us ... Muito obrigado...
i love how someone looked at the 935 and thought, "hey, lets turn up the boost"
Greatest Porsche ever
J'adore cette voiture , toutes les anciennes sont les meilleures pour les sensations et le pilotage , Quel kif émotionnel ❤✌🙏

Loudest car I ever heared!!
The RealRacer12 After the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 ti DTM and the Lancia Stratos group 4..🔝
Nicolò Berno and a cosworth F1 turbo engine revving hard makes them sound like kids toys
The RealRacer12 u havent seen the s15 brill steel
FXX is loud af too
pagani zonda, nascar V8...
man, you are missing a lot!
thats a bad ass raw sounding car ! great video !
Thanks!
Iconic monsters! Beautiful!👍
Love the Porsches 😍😍😍
Form follows function, and looks badass too!
The beauty of Engineering, how the protect the turbo from those flames, production car's turbos will start drinking oil and go bad soon.
Flamemania!

hehe too kind dude

But love the cars tho
No, batmobiles were BMW's with similarly crazy turbo engines and aero that these Porsches competed against.
Basically a 635CSi on steroids ;-)

Yeah, He looks better in 935 Turbo model than Solstice GXP model
Most wonderful, I love it. It's always possible those spitting flames may occasionally set your car on fire?

Buckets of turbo lag... but when it comes on
SolamenteVees It's not so bad, at least in race trim. The anti-lag system does a pretty good job at eliminating lag. Turbo lag was usually only a big issue when they upped the boost for qualifying runs.
