Talk:Group 5 1979 Season/@comment-28176349-20190917202722/@comment-43421298-20190918115119

As the name suggests, 935 is a race-spec 930, that is, 911 Turbo. It IS a 911.

Second, it was made for Group 5 concurrently with 936, which was a prototype - 935 was the GT version of 911, just like 934, which was designed for Group 4 (lower-tier GT). Group 5 was never about protoypes, even if it was loose enough to allow substantial revisions to production cars.

The fact that it's listed among the prototypes makes no sense at all. Both at the time of its introduction and in 1979 specifically, 935s ran as GT cars, clearly derived from 911 (and not purposely designed from scratch). This car belongs among the Endurance GT series, same as the 250.
