Lanzante has built two road-legal Porsche 935s

Ever looked at the Porsche 935 and thought it’d be a suitable way of travelling along the M11? Two owners seemingly thought so, and approached Lanzante - purveyors of the drift-happy McLaren P1 - to request just such a road-legal conversion. 18 months (and much thumb-twiddling) later, their wishes have come true.

Lanzante started by fine-tuning the original race-spec suspension to deal with potholes, throwing less-squeaky brakes on and pairing them with an actual handbrake. The electronic system has seen a major overhaul too.

Needle-eyed readers will also spot the additional headlights incorporated to sit flush alongside the large bonnet vents, while the wheels (and corresponding covers) have also been updated. Final exterior changes are the refreshed paint schemes: one’s been finished in the iconic red/white Marlboro chevron theme, while the other has gone full retro Martini. We’ll have ours in Gulf Racing, thank you very much.

No other changes have been mentioned. So, mechanically, these 935s still use a water-cooled 3.8-litre flat-six to send around 700bhp to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK. Most of the other nuts and bolts have been taken straight from the 991-generation GT2 RS too, just as they were in the original second-generation cars.

The duo made their public debuts at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and will be no doubt spotted pootling along Britain’s finest high streets in due course.
