Here's another one of the prototype 935 ... can't remember where I found this one (wish it was larger).

I have some others from the Starkey book that I'll scan and post.

I think that you meant to say...

And I agree with GeorgeK...

Specifically, a 935/76

John, the silver Martini is one of the 4(?) Turbo RSR, but not a 934. The 934 had the riveted-on flares and as per the rules a 3.0 Turbo rear wing.

After doing a little research, the 935 is chassis #002 and was run with the stock fenders after finding the more familiar flat nose generated too much downforce. Another photo:

If Jack see's this one, he's going to get wheel envy. Look at those rear rims. I can just see BB2 now...

George K -- you're right. The 934 was completely different then a Turbo RSR. I didn't notice the number "934" in the quote I clipped until you just flagged it.

These are some of the first press photos of the 935 ...

Here's one of the first photos with testing of the slant nose. They were also testing the '74 Turbo RSR tail on it as well.

Rear shot of the 935 prototype showing the Carrera RSR type rear fenders. My guess is that the 911 type fenders are on the front.

Here's an interesting press shot of the '74 Turbo RSR doing a burnout ...

Late in '76 and into '77 they decided to stick with the slant nose as well as change the rear fenders with a more squared off top for larger rear ducts and more aerodynamic downforce.

Nice photos!

Besides the silver color for the '74-5 Turbo RSR and the white color for the '76 935 prototype, the Turbo RSR had radically reworked C-pillars/rear window for better airflow to the rear wing.

A couple 935s experimented with the reworked C-pillars/rear window in '77. Actually a 2nd window channel panel mounted to the factory C-pillars and roof. After it proved successful, it became standard on 935/78 (Moby Dick) and the Kremers from then on out.

More, more, I want more. What are you guys dealers. A little for free at first, and then once you're hooked it costs??

Here's another one to give you a little fix ...

I guess what bothers me the most is that we have the luxury of looking back 20-30 years and feel the "connection" with the company by virtue of its racing products....

20 -30 years from now, what are we going to say?....." Yeah, the Weideking era......here is a pictoral of the bags of the money they made then....products?...well....ummm......"

We're truly "resting on our laurels"....there is no racing heritage that we're continuing for posterity....

At least we'll have the GT3R's and their brothers. Hopefully the CGT will find it's way into some sort of racing.

this one also belongs on that "airborne" thread
