The legend of "Moby Dick" - the incomparable Porsche 935/78

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

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. Now, I am 23 years old and still in absolute love with it. Watching videos like this makes my heart pound like crazy.. Heavy breathing.. No car has ever done anything like that to me. The Moby Dick is the one and only. In my mind, the most beautiful creation in the world. Hopefully I can meet this car one day. I'll remember to bring a chair to sit on, so I can comfortably stare at it for hours. Am I crazy..? Maybe.. But what an amazing thing..

Thank you Porsche, this and the 917, 935, 936 are my favorites of all time

Revan Skywalker Yes it’s massive compared to the usual 911’s. Very long, low and wide. You can see it’s a hand built car. Inside it’s rough and all business. Outside it’s very purposeful bodywork can be studied and you can see what Singer was thinking. I loved the paint job, the quality of the stripes is excellent. I can go on and on... go see it!

I really miss the Group 5/6 era. It was my introduction to sports car racing in 1980 at the Silverstone 6 hours and I recall it like it was yesterday. Such a mix and match of different cars all trying to keep up with the 935 K3's and the odd prototype with more pace but often less reliability together with some older 908/910's for show and if lucky a 936. Sadly the only time I got to see a 936 was for a race start and that was it. Jochen binned it into the catch fencing at Woodcote at the end of lap one and that was it. I have never forgiven you Jochen :)

I drooled over every magazine article I could find about this car as a kid and even had a few of its specs committed to memory (hp, weight, top speed at LeMans). But I'm embarrassed to admit I knew nothing about it having WATER COOLED HEADS!!! I never heard of a Porsche flat six with such a feature. Now I wonder if I would have discovered it back in 1985 if I had bought the Tamiya 1:12 short tail model of this instead of the Jagermeister 934 RSR Turbo?

It's weird, once you've spent a few hours in the car, and learned where it's limits are, you realize the car was telling from the start "here's what I can do, if you go beyond that, I can't be held responsible for your safety" ... it's the strangest thing, it really is counter intuitive to have that weight back there, but also the wealth of downforce with very precise limits to it, I suppose anyone in real life driving something that special could do amazing things, it's a real collaborative effort between machine and man.
