1983 Porsche 956

Legendary, but my all time favouite is the TWR "Silk Cut" Jaguar XJR9...

[Gilles 27]

my dad said he was overtaken by one of those on the motorway once!!!

I have heard of a road-going XJR-9, they mentioned it during last year's Silverstone Classic. That would be an awesome way of getting to work!

Wow!! A ROAD GOING version??? I bet that would cost a fortune! But worth it!

I want to go to this year's Silverstone classic, especially to see the race featuring all the classic Group C era sportscars which last year was the David Leslie memorial trophy.

[Gilles 27]

it looked amazing last year! really great event. Somebody apparently had a roadgoing Porsche 917 made for them by the factory in the early 1970s too...

Yeah do it!!! That must have been amazing seeing those cars race.





I think this Au, I mean, Bentley Speed 8 is the most beautiful prototype imo.
