I'll see if I can dig up some notes from Jenks et al. later this pm

I guess the argument there is that MacPhearson strut torsion bar suspension is better than the double wish bone with a TB, as well as more modern. Then in '90 the 911 got coil over suspension all around like an E-type had in the rear. Later on, the 911 got multi-link which is like a double wishbone to me.
No, I don't get that. I think the XKE was the head of the class for a long time.
