Going forward, the mission statement from Porsche should keep cars like the 918, and their rennwagens, in top contention :

"I am of the opinion that sports cars actually foreshadow innovations, and this was true in the past as it will be in the future."

Prototype #25, 887-hp and funky development brakes in rain—which made for VERY slippery pavement on the track at Leipzig. Then the sun came out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Guy in the right seat is the father of the 914-10 (aka the Carrera GT).

Looks like CGT designer Grant Larson (sitting shotgun).He was given the task to correct the design of the car when chief designer Harm Lagaay was "Not entirely satisfied with the car's appearance".
What you see in the CGT is Larson 's creativity.
I was present for a lecture that he gave about his design work for Porsche, at Art Center Pasadena. Cool guy and loves his job !

Here's the 914-6 and the 914-10, but happy 918 day !

I thought the 924 was the future of the automobile??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Do we have to wait until 9/28 for the flying cars, or is that on 9/30?
