Porsche’s proudest performance vehicle is a racer’s dream.
In 1984, Porsche produced this 911 Carrera coupe, an unsuspecting sports car that used all of the body lines associated with earlier models to trick the uninitiated into assuming it was quite a lot slower than it was. Looking past its vintage style, you'll notice quite a few incredible mechanical achievements that made it a lot more efficient and generally well-designed compared to earlier examples. One such thing is the twin plug style, something that made it perfect for longevity even when faced with high-performance scenarios.
Make no mistake, even having been produced in the '80s, this car is still set up to race with a 3.4-l flat-six engine which would have been one of the most powerful units of its time. Indeed, it may have been a lot for an average driver to handle especially when faced with the 915 5-speed manual transaxle. Those who drive a manual regularly will attest to the fact that sports cars typically respond very well when their drivers have maximum control which is why this car's powered delivery system is probably its greatest attribute.
A shining piece of that is the limited-slip differential, something that allows for even tighter cornering and a little bit of sliding fun if drifting is more your style. On top of that, you get some cool features like the 17-inch wheels, yellow headlights, and roll bar which are all reminiscent of the 911's racing heritage. Wrapping up the vehicle's handling profile is the rebel racing suspension system which will have you carving corners on the track in no time. The only question left to be answered is, who will be your opponent?
