It's one of the most astonishing racing cars ever made, one of the weirdest, era defining monsters. The brainchild of Porsche engineers Norbert Singer and Hans Metzger, the Porsche 935/78 was at the height of performance. Made specifically to conquer Le Mans, it raced with authority, truly going laps around its competition. Hear all about its history and construction, along with its reunion with Jochen Mass as it wowed during the Group 5 Demo at the 76th Members' Meeting. #76MM

800 horsepower+ from a flat six, wow, still very impressive to this day. One of the best looking Porsche's ever imo.

Dear old Jochen Mass... I’ve always held him in extremely high regard. Under appreciated driver.

And now Porsche are bringing it back - IMO sympathetically modernised, too. Very rare for that to happen. Bravo Porsche!

It's a weird sensation.. I have so many nostalgic feelings towards this car because of the old Need For Speed: Porsche 2000. As a kid, I searched so hard to find a model of this so I could look at it and touch it.

Jochen Mass is a real gentleman and so is the car. What a lovely match.

I had the chance to see this car in the Stuttgart museum and it was just incredible. I can’t express how it felt, Ive only ever seen that car in video, print and plastic model. There it was and it was like nothing else mattered or existed, unreal the presence this car has, you can’t help but stare at it.

Saw this at Rennsport Reunion a few years ago. Porsche brings all the original race cars out - frickin amazing. Norbert Singer, Hans Metzger, jovial Jochen Mass. Wow. 🏁🇩🇪

Had the pleasure of seeing this race at the Silverstone 6hrs in 1978. Of course, it won by a considerable margin.

Undoubtedly one of the best Porsche race cars ever.

It's a brave man that takes one of these round a UK circuit in the middle of winter.

Saw it at Le Mans in '78.'.. Lots of flame on the overruns as with all the 935s....very spectacular at night!....Some favorite memories from that period.... I loved the long tail Renaults as well.

Read in an old sportscar magazine that did 378 km/h easy back in the day! Monstrous yet exquisitely one of a kind. ❤️

Stunning car. I particularly liked the bit "it was very hard to run the car very much, because our car was so much better than our customer cars" yes, fantastic!

So many magnificent cars, back in the days... The 935 Moby Dick was my favorite race car when I was young, it brings back so many fond memories of Endurance Racing! Thanks for this!
