Lanzante converted two of the 77 limited production examples Porsche 935 racing cars for road use, opening the door for the pair of ultra-rare hypercars sold in Australia to become road legal.
According to the British engineering firm, which is also behind the road approval McLaren P1 GTR Conversions and the amazing Formula 1 powered by TAG Porsche 911, his latest project launched after two Porsche 935 owners contacted the former racing team for help.
Converting the track-only 935 to road use was no small feat and took Lanzante 18 months to complete.
Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the road-legal Porsche 935s featured revised headlights, a handbrake and a braking system.
The road-ready 935s also benefit from new suspension and revised electronics designed to make the Derived from the Porsche 911 GT2 more usable 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six.
Even the alloy wheels are completely new and have been created to match the aerodynamic design of the original hypercar.
It is unclear whether the all-titanium racing exhaust was retained, but it is likely that it was replaced with a quieter exhaust system.
Lanzante has not confirmed how much it cost to convert the Porsche 935, but in 2018 the standard vehicle was priced from €700,000 plus tax (AU$1.1 million).
Originally commissioned by Porsche Motorsport in 2018, the Porsche 935 is said to have been inspired by the 1977 935/78, affectionately nicknamed “Moby Dick” due to its enormous whale tail.
Boasting advanced aerodynamics, the original racing model’s 621kW 3.2-litre twin-turbo flat-six enabled it to reach 366km/h on the Mulsanne Straight at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
