| Rumor Mill: Cayman GT4? db997S - 9 years ago |
... Herr Piëtch started running the show.
When he was head of Motorsports at Porsche in the late 60s and 70s he was responsible for Porsche's dominance on the tracks with the 906s through the 917s.
He then went to Audi and was responsible for the development of the Quattro model to take on the World Rally Championship.
Now with great influence over Porsche again, he has been heard to say that he's had it with Ferrari's dominance with their mid-engined cars and that Porsche had to go back to it's winning roots.
He's in part responsible for getting Porsche back at Lemans running with the big boys, not just the GTs.
Let's see how the do next month.
It's about time!
Happy Porscheing,
Pedro

| Put it this way... the 911 is moving pretty far away from even being a sports car. Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - 9 years ago |
They need this car for other reasons.
You've heard me say this before.... my 2009 C2S is a rocket..... but a bit boring... big, fat and heavy. As they raise the price, they will lose their enthusiast market simply because the car is becoming too expensive jewelry. Posers make the money but enthusiasts make the brand.
Peace
