The chassis was of an unitary steel construction, and the engine was the famous Typ 930\/72. It was a  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.classicdriver.com\/sites\/default\/files\/collectibles_images\/1768g.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">flat-6<\/a> displacing 2994 cm\u00b3 with a single big KKK turbo, powerful enough to produce 630 hp. But as good as the 935 was from the factory, <strong>Kremer Racing<\/strong> made it even better. Despite making improvements to the whole car, what made the 935 <em>K-Series<\/em> really stand out was the engine. Kremer enlarged the engine and added an intercooler and two KKK turbos. With 3.2 l of displacement that resulted in 750 hp of power! Kremer sold their cars to many race teams, and one of their clients was Dick Barbour Racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race\/porsche_935apple_71_02.jpg\" alt=\"K3 #71\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fantastic model, but I&#8217;m not 100% sure about the wheel colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Le Mans in 1980, Dick Barbour had three 935s in the race, all in the IMSA class. But for one of the cars he managed a partnership with Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computers. And for the first time in history a computer company sponsored a race car. K3 #71 here, the so called <em>\u201cApple 935\u201d<\/em>, had a flat-6 displacing 2994 cm\u00b3, and with twin turbos it was capable of hefty 730 hp. Unfortunately though, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lemans-history.com\/imagens\/\/1980\/56-06.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Apple 935<\/a> had to abandon on the 134th lap. They were in 8th place, but a seized piston ended their race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/porsche\/race\/porsche_935apple_71_03.jpg\" alt=\"K3 #71\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Why these specific two cars in the set?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The K3 #71 has one of the most <em>sui generis<\/em> liveries of all the 935 that ever raced at La Sarthe.  It was a model that I always wanted to have, but prices usually are not on the cheap side.  Fortunately, with the help of a member of the Royal Family of Northumberland, I managed to find the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.w-143.com\/index.php\/jaguar-xjr-9-lm-2-tsm\/\" target=\"_blank\">TSM set<\/a> for a steal. In scale it\u2019s just perfect, as nice as my best Sparks. A real looker, and therefore it could easily be the only 935 of a Le Mans collection. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1980 Porsche 935 K3 Pilots: B. Rahal, B. Garretson, A.
