This Porsche 935 Is Hiding A High-Voltage Secret

The 935, for those unfamiliar, was a slant-nosed, wide-body version of the 930-generation 911 Turbo that Porsche developed for sports-car racing – winning (among numerous other races) the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright in 1979, and inspiring amodern recreationbased on the 991-gen GT2 RS.

Rather than gutting one of those original racers, Bisimoto started with a more common classic911, fitted with a K3 body kit from Kremer Racing – the same company that built many road- and race-spec 935s on Porsche's behalf back in the day. Only Bisimoto ditched the boxer six in favor of an electric motor.

The electric powertrain produces an impressive 637 horsepower, backed by an array of twelve LG Chem batteries split up between the front and back for a combined 32-kWh capacity.

To punctuate its unconventional powertrain, Bisimoto gave its 935 K3V a dark gray and hot pink paintjob with matching eight-piece Brixton Forged turbofan wheels. It also fitted a full roll cage inside, and hid the charging port underneath the fuel filler cap to keep it looking old-school despite the decidedly modern source of its motivation. An authentic 935 it is not, but as far as electric retrofits go, it's a pretty awesome conversion, if you ask us.
