One to Buy: 99 mile Interscope-liveried 2019 Porsche 935/19
/
Of the ultra high end track-only specials that have been released in the last few years, out favourite here at Supercar Nostalgia is the epic Porsche 935/19.
Conceived as a modern homage to the legendary line of Group 5 935 racing cars produced during the second half of the 1970s, the 935/19 was built in a limited run of 77 units which sold out almost immediately.
Starting with a lightened bodyshell, Porsche fitted GT2 RS-derived mechanicals to include a 700bhp 3.8-litre twin turbo Flat 6 which was hooked up to a seven-speed PDK transmission. Brand new all-carbonfibre bodywork evoked the formidable seventies’ 935 with a modern twist; a Flachbau front end, monster stepped fenders and a tunnelled back end were all highly reminiscent of the Group 5 era.
In addition to mono paint, Porsche offered the 935/19 in eight colour schemes inspired by prior sponsorship collaborations: Martini, Momo, Gulf, Sachs, Vaillant, Interscope, John Player Special and the German firm’s Austrian distributor, Porsche Salzburg KG.
Every one of these liveries looked absolutely spectacular, but perhaps the best was the black, pink, orange and red-striped version produced in recognition of Ted Field’s Interscope Racing Team which famously won the 1981 Daytona 24 Hours for Porsche.
Currently on offer at the Canepa showroom in Scotts Valley, California, is number 49 of the 77 modern era 935s and one of the rarely seen Interscope variants: chassis ‘199149’.
To complement the gorgeous Interscope trim, number 49 was further optioned with the factory spares package that included an extra set of wheels, brake discs, brake pads and all kinds of extra equipment.
Having never been tracked, and with just 99 miles on the odometer, number 49 is presented in as-new condition throughout.
