By 1977, the 935 was sold as a customer car for these series to race against cars like the BMW CSL. Thus, the 935 had a long period of developmental upgrades and race wins along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Providing a basis for the 935 was the Porsche Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo which contested the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1974. Due to the more relaxed Group 5 regulations, engineer Norbert Singer could drastically alter the outer-bodywork of the standard 930 unitary steel monocoque. This allowed for much larger fender flares and a huge rear wing. Half way through the 1976 season, Porsche relocated the front headlights to the Flachbau or flatnose design.<\/p>\n<p>The design retained the 930 Turbo bodyshell which was stiffened by an aluminum roll cage. The attached front and rear sections were made from fiber-glass and 5-inch wheel arches were fitted covering 15-inch tires in the rear. Plexiglass windows and other lightweight construction meant that the car was produced 90 kg underweight which was offset by ballast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1976-porsche-93576\/1976_porsche_935761\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-244904\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-244904 size-full\" title=\"1976 Porsche 935\/76\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1976_Porsche_935761.jpg\" alt=\"1976_Porsche_935761\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using the 1.4 equivalency factor given to turbocharged engines, Porsche could assemble a 2.9-liter engine that fit well within the 4-litre restriction. To offset the smaller displacement, a huge KKK turbocharger was fitted which helped the 2808cc flat-6 produce close to 600 bhp. This number varied depending on the boost which ranged from 1.35 and 1.55 bar.<\/p>\n<p>The engine used dual-ignition, a 908-style fuel pump, plunger-type fuel injection and spraybar lubrication. Consumption was rated at 4.38 mpg.<sup>1<\/sup> A knob on the dashboard controlled the boost which could vary the power from a reliable 550 bhp to 650 bhp in sprint mode.<\/p>\n<p>The suspension and wheels were also drastically upgraded including coil springs, adjustable anti-roll bars, and larger ventilated discs. Naturally, the car was completely stripped and Porsche managed to reduce weight to 900 kg. With ballast the car could then meet the required 970 kg formula.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1976-porsche-93576\/1976_porsche_935763\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-244906\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-244906\" title=\"1976 Porsche 935\/76\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1976_Porsche_935763.jpg\" alt=\"1976 Porsche 935\/76\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first season was largely developmental for Porsche but under the Martini Racing banner they were quite successful, winning the championship outright by a very narrow margin. Typically driven by Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass, the 935 won the 6-hour races at Mugello, Vallelunga and Dijon. Later in the season, the works cars were joined by privateers in the 935\/77 and a couple bespoke cars built by Kremer.<\/p>\n<p>For the last two legs, Porsche needed to secure vital points and they used both 935.001 and 935.002 to contest the final two races. Drivers Rolf Stommelen and Manfred Schurti won the Watkins Glen 6-Hours outright in 935.001 which nearly secured the Championship. The final round at Dijon, Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass won again for Porsche and the Championship was secured.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1976-porsche-93576\/1976_porsche_935765\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-244908\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-244908\" title=\"1976 Porsche 935\/76\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1976_Porsche_935765.jpg\" alt=\"1976_Porsche_935765\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Sources &amp; Further Reading.<\/h4>\n<p>1.
