- The car’s 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six with 690 hp has been retained.
- Lanzante had to equip the model with slim headlights and a handbrake.
- Alterations have also been made to the car’s electronics and suspension.
If you own a track-only supercar or a limited-edition hypercar that cannot be road-registered but want to drive it on the street, there’s only one place to head: Lanzante.
The British company has been around since the 1970s and has a long history in motorsport, but it wasn’t until it started building road-legal McLaren P1 GTRs that it really burst onto the radar of many enthusiasts. Its latest project doesn’t involve a McLaren, but a once track-only Porsche that can now be driven on the road.

The modern version of the beloved Porsche 935 was built in just 77 examples and roughly 18 months ago, two owners approached Lanzante to see if it could make their cars road legal. Both examples were presented at last weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The most obvious modification made to the car is found up front. As the original 935 is designed exclusively for the track, it makes do without headlights. That’s not going to work on the street. As such, Lanzante has crafted new front fenders that incorporate a pair of slim headlights.
Few other exterior changes appear to have been made, although one car does now wear a custom red and white livery, while the other has a more subtle silver Martini design. Piston Heads says Lanzante has also fitted a new handbrake and worked its magic on the car’s electronics system and suspension to make it better suited to use on the road.
No changes have been made to the powertrain. As such, the car retains its original 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six pumping out 690 hp and mated to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.
There’s no word on how much the road conversion costs nor where the two Lanzante 935s will end up. However, there’s no doubt that wherever they are driven, they’ll turn plenty of heads.
