Porsche 953
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Porsche 953 was a heavily modified variant of the 911, designed and built specifically to compete in the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. It was a short lived model, replaced in 1985 by the 959. It is sometimes referred to as the 911 4x4, as it used the developmental, manually controlled four-wheel drive system that was intended to be used on the 959. Travelling on an extremely enhanced suspension, powered by a 300 bhp (220 kW), 6 cylinder engine, and weighing in at 2750 lb (1247 kg), it was extremely successful. Three of them finishing Paris-Dakar, one taking overall first place.
