A one-off build, this 1992 Porsche DP 935 was commissioned by its previous owner to look like the German motorsports VLN series championship-winning car piloted by Jurgen Alzen. The iconic images of the Porsche 935 blasting through the demanding 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, the sole racing venue of the VLN series, was the impetus to create a street-legal version of this lethal race car.
Built to custom order by DP Motorsport—the legendary body design and fabrication constructor that came into world prominence in the late-1970s through its collaboration with the Kremer Brothers to create the legendary Porsche 935 K3 that won first overall at the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans—this Porsche is the result of a no-expense-spared build performed in 1998.
Starting with a 964 generation 1992 Porsche 911 Turbo, DP Motorsport added a carbon fiber reinforced body consisting of a slant-nose front end with air intakes, relocated headlights, flared fenders, racing rocker panels, a massive rear wing and aerodynamic racing mirrors with the only remaining section of the initial car being the steel roof section and glass. The drivetrain was upgraded with a larger K-27S turbocharger, larger intercooler and special exhaust system, boosting the output from 300 to 444 HP.
Keeping the car planted required the fitment of wider three-piece Cup-inspired aluminum alloy wheels, 18×12.5-inch rear and 18×8-inch front-mounted wheels, with 335/30-18 and 245/40-18 tires. The car features an H&R Sports adjustable suspension with Uniball strut bearings and an adjustable strut brace. Reportedly, this car is the last air-cooled DP 935 built. Finished in classic Polar Silver with tri-tone striping and signature graphics, this Porsche DP 935 is one fantastic sight to behold and is the last air-cooled example produced.
