Anyone else read the article in the current Panorama where Valentin Schäffer mentions that Porsche had him (secretly) build two turbo cars in 1970, one 911 and one 914-6?
I wonder what ever happened to that car and if anyone out there has some more info on it ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

But Chappy took his car to a whole new level with a twin plug 6 that will make guys like us look 16 again when he hits the loud peddle.
