By the 1970s, Porsche was an established \u201cracing brand\u201d. After their overall win at Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, Stuttgart\u2019s cars became synonymous with racing. That being so, the manufacturer got busy producing cars for privateer racers. One of these was the 934<\/strong>. Based on the 911 (930) Turbo<\/a> of 1975, it was made specifically for Group 4 racing. In essence, to create the 934 Porsche fed a 930 steroids – a LOT of steroids. Porsche swapped the \u201cpedestrian\u201d 260 hp boxer-6 of the 930 with a bigger 2992 cm\u00b3 that delivered 480 hp. Brakes came from the 917, and they trimmed weight everywhere. In the end, even with a roll cage, Porsche had to add ballast <\/em>so that the car weighed the minimum 1090 kg for Group 4. With that, the 934 was FAST, yet it was a handful to tame. Nonetheless, Porsche produced and sold 31 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never found out why this car had those weird number plates.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Max Moritz bought chassis #930 670 0168 brand new in 1976. He painted it in J\u00e4germeister colors and raced it in only two races. The following year he raced the car all over Europe, however in a different livery. Then, in 1978, Herv\u00e9 Poulain bought it (maybe just rented it?) to race at Le Mans. He painted the car again in full J\u00e4germeister livery and took it to La Sarthe. Oddly, his team consisted of himself and three more pilots. Out of the norm, since at the time usually only two pilots shared the wheel. In spite of the double staff, on the 167th lap the gearbox failed and car #68<\/a> was out. Later that same month Max Moritz got the car back and only raced it twice more. He subsequently sold it, and chassis #930 670 0168 never raced at La Sarthe again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium X also offers this model. However, if it\u2019s anything like my X-Ray 934<\/a> it\u2019s too big.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This particular 934 is known as the \u201cJ\u00e4germeister 934\u201d<\/em>. Despite the DNF, it was the only car to race in J\u00e4germeister livery at La Sarthe. When I collected 1:18, I had a special J\u00e4germeister section in my collection. However, the J\u00e4germeister 934 at the time was not available. I had a bunch of J\u00e4germeister cars but not the most important of all. A grail model, and I finally have it. Though a pretty rare one, this is the second one I see on auction. The first one I saw locally last year, however I missed it ($$$) \ud83d\ude23. Last month another one popped up and this time I jumped on it. Model-wise it is your normally-gorgeous-Spark, so there\u2019s not much to discuss here. Even so, I am thrilled to finally have this car in the W-143 Garage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
