That, and strangely, they decided to get more power from a smaller engine and foolishly make it capapble of turning left AND right in quick succession. Idiot designers. Big, heavy, lunky, straight line power. That is all you need.
The man knew what he was doing. And I think the body changed less than even the Model T, though again, because it worked, not because it "has to be that way".

I remember that car with fondness. As fast as you can go without having to eat airline food, was their motto back then.

hardly any of porsches models have had the engine hanging off the back (356 & 911), its just the 911 is so iconic that it seems that way.
