DESCRIPTION

Moby Dick, a sperm whale on the circuit

The Porsche 935/78 model was first produced in 1978. In addition to some technical modifications, the main feature of this vehicle is its large dimensions. The Porsche 935/78 bears this pretty nickname because of its white background paint and its large dimensions, which are reminiscent of the large white animal. This is why the Porsche was nicknamed "Moby Dick" by the factory mechanics, like the white sperm whale from the novel of the same name by Herman Melville. This version of the Porsche 935/78 and the unmistakable paintwork of the Italian steering wheel and rim manufacturer "Momo" took part in the 1981 Norisring race and showed its extraordinary capabilities on the track. The design with cult status from the 80s has been reworked over the years, but the red background with yellow letters has always remained. The dimensions have remained the same with this model, only the paint has changed. Giampiero Moretti drove this car from 1978 to 1982 and also took part in races in the German racing championship, during which he took second place in Division I at the 1981 Norisring.

A historic car for your racing team

The Porsche 935/78 still differs from today's modern racing cars in many ways. But that's exactly what makes the classic car so likable. The 1:32 scale track car has front, rear and brake lights and, like its large model, the striking paintwork by Italian steering wheel and rim manufacturer Momo. Thanks to individual codeability, the car can be adapted very well to your abilities.
