A review of the elusive Platz Porsche 935.

[l02turner]

Excellent history of Porsche's! I'd like to offer one minor clarification. You wrote "the K stands for Kurz or short", which is correct. The 917K was a Short tail version. But like many car maker's Porsche lacks consistency at times. When they named the 935K3 it referred to the Kurz brothers who developed a type of Turbo charger the 935 used at LeMans. It is a very high-performance Turbocharger only used in racing applications. The 935 was the ultimate development of the 911 even though the 98 911GT1 technically was considered a 911, the only part of that LeMans winning (1998) Porsche that can be considered a 911 is the roof, but it met the letter of the rulebook which was all that was needed.
