Lately I’ve noticed a significant number of Porsches every time. Driving around town, you will never miss spotting a Porsche. May it be an S, a Turbo, a Cayman, a Panamera or a GT2 or 3 on a nice day. There’s one Porsche I would love to see one time. Something different, a porsche that does have the same arched back 2 door but without the round head lights glaring at you.

In the late 70’s, Porsche offered a Flachbau (slantnose) 930 under the special order program. It was basically a 930 but with a 935 style slantnose instead of the regular 911 front end; It was the “Ultimate 930” the this model had an upgraded body and a 330 bhp engine. Each Flachbau unit was handcrafted by remodeling the front fenders. The flachbau design was employed to provide greater aerodynamics by reducing drag drom the front. The conversion extended the side skirts out, with wider rear flares, scooped vents and flip-up headlights up front with functional louvres. In 1979, racing company DP motorsports came out with a modified flachbau 935 wich brought home the bacon in a couple victorious races. The flachbau is definitely a one of a kind porsche; definitely a rare unconventional beauty on its own.
