Nissan 350Z undergoes "Slantnose" customization, emulating Porsche's aesthetic style.

The Porsche 935, a model that originated from the renowned Porsche 911, holds a special place in the annals of automotive history. Its distinctive slantnose look, a design element that has become synonymous with Porsche, was popularized by the Porsche 935/78 racing car from the 1970s.

The 935/78, affectionately known as "Moby Dick," was a formidable racing machine, but it was not street legal. In the 1980s, the characteristic round headlights of the 911 Turbo from generation 930 were replaced with pop-up headlights in a modification known as the "Flachbau." This German term signifies the flat-sloping front that gave the 911 a more aerodynamic and aggressive appearance, echoing the slantnose look of the 935/78.

Fast forward to 2018, and Porsche paid homage to the legendary 935/78 by releasing a limited series of 77 units called the 935. This new model was based on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, carrying forward the slantnose legacy to a new generation.

Meanwhile, in the world of modified cars, a Nissan 350Z was given a Porsche 935-inspired slantnose makeover. However, the details of the driver behind this transformation and the social media platforms documenting the process remain undisclosed.

This article focuses on the Porsche 935, its history, and its influence on car design, as well as the Nissan 350Z and its modifications. It does not delve into the technicalities of legal conversions of H7 and H4 bulbs to LED technology, strict regulations for butterfly exhaust systems and sound generators, or suspension tuning, as to how low a car can legally be. Instead, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of iconic automotive design.
