Porsche is only bringing 77 units of the 2019 935 to the world, with more and more of these reaching their owners these days. And, in theory, the stunning Zuffenhausen machine is confined to the track. However, the rendering we have here begs to differ and there might be more to this than just pixel play.
The digital portrait doesn't change all that much. As such, we can talk about the extra real estate dedicated to the rear lights - since the taillights of the 911 GT2 RS the 935 uses as a starting point are partially buried under the carbon tail of the racecar, this change should be welcome for the street.

Then we have the extra exhaust tip. Bringing the total to three, this has more of symbolic value, since it comes to show that a road-going incarnation would require updates in this department. And since we're talking about mods introduced to a machine that comes with a starting price of €701,948 plus VAT (around $780,000), adding such bits would be no easy feat.

It appears that the wheels have also been transformed, even though I'm not certain that the Turbofan units of the factory model would bring any trouble in terms of road homologation - pixel tip to digital label Car Lifestyle for this image.

Nowadays, the line separating renderings from actual builds is getting foggier by the season. So yes, we might just see an eccentric aficionado inspired by this pixel play commissioning such a transformation.

For one, this wouldn't be the first time in recent history when a racecar based on a showroom model returns to the purpose of the original. And the McLaren P1 GTR's road-legal conversion is perhaps the best example of this. The said transformation isn't handled by the Woking carmaker itself. Instead, its old-time racing partner, also-British specialist Lanzante Motorsport is the one handling the work.

Nevertheless, as cool as such a transformation sounds, it wouldn't be without its downsizes. And these range from the obvious challenges a racecar can face in grocery-getting real-world scenarios (check out the link above) to the financial implications.

For one, being able to get your 935 out on the road would probably go well with that optional passenger seat, but that makes for a $10,000 addition (the price of the carbon seat was shared on social media by car collector Manny Khoshbin, who is one of the lucky owners).
