The racing Type 935 version of the Type 930 Turbo pioneered the 'slant' or 'flat' nose. Kremer Racing offered a conversion, as did the factory's own Customer Department from 1981, becoming an official option in 1986.

An ultra-rare variant of an already exclusive model, this 'flat-nose' was delivered new in the USA on 11th July 1987 by Valley Motors Inc of Cockeysville, Maryland, who serviced the Porsche up to the end of the 1990s. The car was subsequently registered in the UK (as 'E409 MPV'), as evidenced by the 2011-2012 MoT certificate on file. Finished in Indian Red with black interior, the car has the five-speed manual transmission and has belonged to our vendor since 2011. The car comes with its Porsche wallet and stamped service book; the original Swiss registration document; and photocopies of the purchase invoice; previous US title; US invoices from the 1990s; and other invoices from 2011, 2013, and July 2023 when it was last serviced.

C'est la Type 935, version compétition de la Type 930 Turbo, qui a inauguré le « slant nose » ou « flat nose ». Kremer Racing proposait une conversion, de même que le propre « département client » de l'usine à partir de 1981, devenant une option officielle en 1986.
Rarissime variante d'un modèle déjà exclusif, cette « flat-nose » a été livrée neuve aux États-Unis le 11 juillet 1987 par Valley Motors Inc de Cockeysville, dans le Maryland, qui a entretenu la Porsche jusqu'à la fin des années 1990. La voiture a ensuite été immatriculée au Royaume-Uni (sous le numéro E409 MPV), comme en atteste le certificat MoT de 2011-2012 au dossier. De couleur rouge Indien avec intérieur noir, la voiture est dotée d'une transmission manuelle et appartient au vendeur depuis 2011. La voiture est vendue avec sa pochette Porsche et son carnet d'entretien tamponné, les papiers originaux d'immatriculation suisse et des photocopies de la facture d'achat, de son ancien titre américain, les factures américaines des années 1990 et d'autres facture de 2011, 2013 et juillet 2023 lorsqu'elle fut révisée pour la dernière fois.
