[s-cars] Colin McRae Top Gear test drive of Prodrive 911RSR vs. 2004 WRX STi Rally

[Taka Mizutani]

Paris-Dakar was done by the 911, exactly which variant I'm not sure.

It was also done by the precursor to the 959 (the car you're talking about-
more 911-like bodywork, turbo and AWD) and the 959 itself.

961 is the roadgoing version of the 959 designed for Le Mans competition.

You're not going to make me pull out the huge 3-volume bible, are you? :-)

Taka
