This series is sure to please any Porsche collector or enthusiast. Limited numbered edition of 3,000.
The Porsche 935 K3 is third in a line of 935 variants developed by Kremer Racing, and remains one of the most famous race cars designed to this day. Most identifiable by its unique body confguration, the Kremer 3 (K3) had a twin-turbocharged,
3.2 liter flat six-cylinder motor producing upwards of 740 to 800bhp. But power alone would not be enough to battle the factory built 935’s, so Kremer Racing focused on shedding weight. They replaced the factory fitted air-to-water
intercooler with an air-to-air intercooler, replaced body panels with light weight composites, and implemented over 100 other upgrades. All these changes are thought to have only given the K3 935 a 1% performance increase over their factory built counterparts, but that’s all that was needed. The 935 finally had a worthy adversary.
