Thought some of you would enjoy reading this as much as I did. Kinda shows how Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann put his neck on the line while pushing for the development of the 924. It cost him his career. I guess we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Classic behind-the-scenes stuff. ENJOY!

Here's a nicely modified 270+ km/h 924S Turbo from September 2009 Excellence. Once again, I left them as links so you can use the zoom feature.
