The Story Behind the Car

Porsche built the 935-78 as the ultimate evolution of the 935 platform — a long-tail, all-out assault on the 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours. Its nickname “Moby Dick” came from its enormous white whale-like body, and it lived up to the drama by setting a lap record at Le Mans that stood for years. With Rolf Stommelen and Manfred Schurti at the wheel, it finished 8th overall despite mechanical issues — a result that belied its sheer pace. This is one of the greatest racing Porsches ever conceived, and this Car Culture casting is essential for any serious Porsche collection.
