Thirteen Porsche 935/77A[11] were sold to privateer teams in Australia, Italy, France, the US and Germany. Among others, Cologne-based rivals Georg Loos and Kremer Racing entered 935s in the 1977[12] Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft which introduced the Group 5 rules. As the naturally aspirated BMW Coupés and Ford Capri had pulled out of the Div. I (over 2.0 litre) of the DRM, these Porsches had no serious competition in the big division until other turbo-charged cars like the BMW-powered Schnitzer, Toyota Celica and the Zakspeed Ford Capri debuted.
While the 935/76 had a single turbocharger, the 2.85-litre engine of the 935/77 had two turbochargers. The 935/77 was first shown to the public in Italy at the Mugello 6 hour race in March 1977. The cats also ran a 1.4L single turbo set up known as “Baby”
