Hi

Back in the 80's a number of the mags used to refer to the awful accident history of one of the decades supercars but never said which for presumed fear of litigation

I have no idea what it was but would guess the 930 Turbo, if not a boggo Carrerra

Anyone know the facts?

Cheers

As someone who read every issue of Fast Lane, Car and PC from the mid eighties onward I can absolutely say without a shadow of doubt that it was the 930 Turbo that was always* the car that would be referenced in this context.

This thread isn't about what was the lairiest ever car of the 80's.

  • yes there are likely to be examples of other cars in some magazine or other.
^^^^ Im tempted to agree
Although for me it was from the early 80's smile

I like the Acclaim idea
Ive owned the 5GT Turbo and a 205GTi neither of which fit the description

I still think its the 930 Turbo although did have a sneaking suspicion it may have been a Ferrari

Thanks for the contributions...........
