Based on a white body purchased from Porsche, the Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 was built to compete in the 1980 German Championship. The car was driven by Bob Wollek, John Fitzpatrick, Jochen Maas, and other iconic drivers. At the end of the season, Kremer sold the Jägermeister K3 to John Fitzpatrick, but it was already clear that new regulations would soon end the golden age of Group 5 cars. From 1982 onwards, sports prototypes dominated the Le Mans races and the One-Maker World Championship. In the USA, the previously victorious Porsche 935s also declined in importance, gradually disappearing from the racetracks and from public view. Although the Jägermeister Porsche K3 continued to achieve numerous successes in the USA, this car, too, was retired, changed hands several times, and was eventually stored in a private garage, as our later research revealed. Over the years, a growing community of motorsport enthusiasts discovered numerous race cars that had gone missing. In 2007, a Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 resurfaced in Cologne, advertised by a Swedish sales agent as an original, as evidenced by the chassis number (000 0011). Even experts involved in the construction of the Kremer K3 were convinced that it was the genuine vehicle, restored in its iconic colors and with great attention to detail. Convinced of the vehicle's authenticity, Eberhard Baunach purchased the Jägermeister Porsche in February 2009.
Doubts about the authenticity of the Jägermeister K3 located in Cologne arose when a Jägermeister Kremer Porsche K3 resurfaced at the VI Porsche Reunion in the USA in 2018. After a complete restoration, it was described as the original vehicle sold by Kremer to John Fitzpatrick in early 1981 and exported by him to the USA. As a result, Eberhard Baunach initiated extensive research to confirm the authenticity of his Kremer Porsche K3 purchase.
The research revealed that the Porsche 935 K3, located in the USA, can be traced thanks to a limited number of subsequent owners, as can the restoration, which was carried out and documented by the respected US company Gunnar Racing. During this restoration, the orange paint of the former Jägermeister livery was found. Furthermore, the research carried out on this vehicle showed a seamless connection between the USA Jägermeister Kremer K3 and its former owner and importer, John Fitzpatrick. It must be assumed that the USA Jägermeister K3 is the original vehicle.
At the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Klaus Ludwig drove the car and recalled his victory in a K3 at the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as his coronation as German Champion of the same year, also in the paddock of a Kremer Porsche K3.
Special features of the Kremer Porsche 935 K3 Replica:
With more than 10 years of experience in endurance racing, Kremer knew how important it is to be able to install and remove something quickly.
The drivetrain can be removed from the vehicle by pulling it backwards.
From the driver's seat, it is possible to change the gear ratios while the gearbox remains installed.
The body shell can be removed in just 6 minutes to give mechanics access to the vehicle's technical components in an emergency. Replacing these parts is correspondingly easy.
