The legendary Porsche endurance racers are often discussed together, but it is important to separate two iconic machines frequently confused by fans and collectors: the Porsche 935/78 “Moby Dick” and the Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig”.

The extraordinary Porsche 935/78, nicknamed “Moby Dick,” competed at the 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans as a factory entry for Porsche under Martini Racing. Car number 43 was driven by Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass and represented the ultimate evolution of the 935 platform, featuring extreme long-tail aerodynamics, wide-body Group 5 engineering, and a powerful turbocharged flat-six engine. The car achieved a strong and reliable run, finishing 8th overall in one of the most competitive Le Mans fields of the decade. Its radical design made it one of the fastest straight-line endurance racing cars of its era and a standout in Porsche motorsport history.

By contrast, the famous “Pink Pig” is the Porsche 917/20, car number 23, which competed at the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans. Known for its distinctive butcher-cut bodywork diagram painted in pink, it remains one of the most recognisable and unusual Porsche race cars ever built, although it retired early from the race.

For slot car collectors and endurance racing enthusiasts, both machines are essential icons. The Porsche 935/78 “Moby Dick” delivers Group 5 turbo-era Le Mans performance, while the Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig” offers one of the most famous and unique liveries in motorsport history—together forming must-have classics for any serious Le Mans slot car collection.
