a tech show piece from the 80's and arguably the greatest ever porsche made.

[dan19evans]

Think they were made in the late 80s to compete in the group B rally

There were only about 350 road cars made for homolation rules.. and they were running a twin turbo 2.8 flat6 if i remember correctly

hope that helps

Looks good cheers for the info guys

I think Nick Faldo's wife tried to destroy his with a 3 iron when she found out he was having an affair.

A white one has appeared on the Supercars spotted thread a couple of times recently.

There are young people, and there are dumb people, but not all young people are dumb people, evidently

Nope, it was his 20 year old girlfriend, the one filling the bed between ex-wives. 9 iron too, I believe. Unlike Elin Nordegren who used a pitching wedge.

That'll more than likely have been me, I've spent a couple of days in a white one recently.

Wonderful car, surprisingly quick even by modern standards yet astoundingly easy to drive and live with.

Jerry Seinfeld has/had one. Not sure if the US still prevents them from being used on the road.

I know of a couple in the US, AIUI they are on some kind of special registration which only allows them to be used for shows and demonstrations.

Actually no, another one (959*** reg no)

We did a photoshoot for Total 911 magazine with it and a 288 GTO

959 is a joint effort between Porsche and Boeing....
