1976 Porsche 934

The Porsche 934 was developed in 1976 in order to compete in the Group 4 GT category of national and international events. It dominated the 1976 European GT and Trans-Am championships and went on to take countless other successes in the hands of Porsche’s many private GT racers. In 1979 a 934 won the Group 4 category at Le Mans, coming fourth overall.

Races in 1976 and 1977. Pictures of this car will be found in the authoritative Porsche: Catalogue Raisonee and Chris Harvey’s Great Marques: Porsche. It was brought to the UK in 1978, and took part in the Silverstone 1000 Km driven by Tony Dron, also competing in several other endurance events. At this point it was road legalized by the fitting of an RSR engine for the Intermarque Series.
