The large turbocharger used with mechanical fuel injection produced the large turbo lag and a huge flame from the exhaust. A rear-wheel drive four-speed with two turbos was the definition of hard to drive while the V6 engine produced 750-800 horsepower, with a top speed of 350 mph.
There were 7 variants of the 935, culminating in the 1978 Moby Dick. The dominance of the 935 was ended by the FIA rule changes that came into force in 1982
