[dk944s2]

Hmm. I think the Countach of that year might have been faster, but it was made in such small numbers that I don't really consider it a producion car.

Yep, the '86 944 Turbo was quite the sensation. Just helped my friend pull the cylinder head off his car over the weekend (more hoses than a garden supply store!) and was admiring the attention to aero underneath the car, specifically the plastic panels beneath the footwells...also neat channels for brake cooling, and those 90-degree sheet-metal pieces on the struts that direct air toward the rotors. Those engineers in Weissach/Zuffenhausen/Wolfsburg/Ingolstadt/
wherever think of everything! If I remember right, the coefficient of drag is something like 0.29-0.30, phenomenal for its day.
