the factory exclusively* (in the literal sense of the word "exclusive" ) campaigns the 911 in "sport" events. Yes, on the street it's a GT, as in "Grand Tourer," but the same can be said for the Boxster. And other than the GT3, a 911 variant, and other, more rare variants, they've always had four seats, so that's not a defining factor either.
* My understanding.

How very true.....fine crusiers all, but still crusiers, not pure sports cars. It's all a matter of degree. Sporty, nonetheless.

What I found surprising is a front engined car having a weight balance Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 11 September, 2014, at 11:06:05 am |
Looking at the cut away, looks like maybe the transmission is at the back like Guenter in Ontario - Thursday, 11 September, 2014, at 11:15:09 am |

Re: Over the decades I've seen reports of many front-engined cars with say, 51% or more on the rear. yellowesty - Thursday, 11 September, 2014, at 6:23:23 pm |
