... plus a bit of the original Lotus Elise rear end thrown in for a measure as well. Neverheless, about 50 years too late, IMHO.
Unfortunately, both - from the engineering stand point, as the head of PORSCHE Engine Department, Hans Mezger, the Head creator of __ A L L __ PORSCHE engines at the factory since after the Fuhrmann 2xOHC 4-cylinder Carrera, explained to me.

Peter Brock, the __ actual father __ of the Daytona Coupé for Caroll Shelby, is in a process to make very road-worthy creations of his own in Nevada. More at info@bre2.net or his web site http://bre2.net Saw his car some time ago. It was beautifully put together. A joy to drive, he said. Nice man too...

If you have never visited before, after you have done justice to gloriously restored Berlin, take advantage of a Eurail Pass and travel as much as your schedule permits.

The euro bumper was under those hidious rubber bags, actually. The problem they faced was not only the 5 mph crash, without but small damage that was allowed, standard but also the bumper hight mandated by the US regulation.
