Pretty in Pink

The 935 K3.

Few privateers have won the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance race, one of the last being the Kremer brothers with their Porsche 935 K3 with twin turbochargers and air-to-air intercoolers – one of the many modifications made to the factory car, which used water cooling.

A car similar to this one won Le Mans in 1979; today it makes the rounds of the classic racing circuit. The engine may sound like a bucket of bolts at idle, but with 800hp on tap, it takes a real man to drive the car at speed.
