One of my (older!) colleagues has just dug out a copy of Road & Track from 1978. There are some fascinating comments in it. Lots on down-sizing and efficiency improvements, a piece about how new turbo diesel units dispell any notions of diesels being slow and unresponsive, but it was the following passage that caught my eye:
"Porsche is known to be evaluating several different versions of a turbocharged 924 - a large turbo 170bhp variant and a 150bhp model with a smaller turbo. It's thought the turbocharged 924 may take over from the 911 series once it's introduced."
Didn't quite get that one right then...
