Did you guys think rear-engined, rear-wheel drive Porsches are dangerous? Think again! This Porsche blast from Stuttgart past has the engine at the front and power going to the back, the ideal combo.
The Porsche 944 is what Germany thought was a cool sportscar back in the 1980s. Behind the styling designed to appeal to guys with perms, it has relevant engineering, like a transaxle, a turbocharged engine and from 1987 models onwards, even anti-lock brakes and airbags.
This one though doesn't appear to have safety on its side, as it's sent flying into the protective wall at the Nurburgring by the back stepping out under hard breaking. The whiplash from the car hitting the barriers looks quite severe.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
