One of only four examples built in the “Long Windshield” configuration, this 1989 Porsche DP 935 shows only 23,662 kilometers or 14,778 miles. The genesis of this street-legal Porsche is rooted in the legendary 935 race car—a winning purpose-built competition car that dominated FIA Group 5 racing in Europe and IMSA GTP racing stateside. The late 1980s is often characterized by the mantra “greed is good,” where too much is not enough. Such is the case with this 1989 Porsche DP 935—a creation of excess and indulgence that pushed the boundaries of automotive convention and culture back in its era.
The 935 body panels of carbon Kevlar construction are of the same design used on the Le Mans-winning 935 K3. The twin-turbocharged 3.3L horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine produces 450 HP when mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, enabling a 183.3 MPH top speed and a 4.2-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time; this was stratospheric performance for the time period, and it remains a high watermark of speed to this day, despite the fact 30 years have transpired since. The outrageous bodywork is further enhanced by the long windshield, designed to achieve the optimal intersection point of low wind resistance combined with aerodynamic downforce.
Finished in iconic Guards Red with multicolor striping, this DP 935 features BBS three-piece racing wheels with “turbo-fan” covers completing the competition inspired presentation. The black interior is fitted with competition Lollipop bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and the dashboard-mounted “dial of death”—a knurled knob enabling on-demand boost control of the turbochargers. The suspension employs Bilstein shocks with H&R springs and sway bars, with stopping power provided by a 4-piston brake system sourced from the legendary 930 Turbo.
