    Haha! A million dune buggies can't be wrong, the rear engined layout is brilliant for sand and other shifty-traction surfaces. After all, the whole point of the 911's rear engine was to provide good traction in snowy Austria and Germany.

    Cool video! Never seen a 911 doing that sort of thing.

    I think you missed his point.

    The car in the video is a road car, not one specifically designed for rally racing.

    What point did I miss? I was just having fun and giving him some more pics of a Porsche off road. That isn't a road car either if you want to split hairs, it's clearly modified specifically for offroad use.

    Jeezz

    Here's road going car turned offroad. Feel better?
