About the Kremer Porsche 935 K3
The Porsche 935 was produced from 1976 to 1981 and is part of the third generation derived from the Porsche 911 series. The 935 K3 was developed by the German racing manufacturer Kremer Racing - the "K" stands for the Kremer brothers, Erwin Kremer and Manfred Kremer. It played a crucial role in the history of endurance racing and was one of the dominant vehicles of its time.
The Porsche 935 K3 was a highly modified version of its predecessor, the 935, with improved aerodynamic design, a powerful 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine capable of delivering up to 800 horsepower. Technical features include limited-slip differentials and lightweight construction, allowing for a maximum power output of up to 800 horsepower while weighing around 1025 kilograms (2260 pounds). Such technical features made the Porsche 935 K3 a true icon in motorsport.
