Meet The Porsche 913. The Ferrari Fighter Porsche Should Build
Porsche has several market prices in its current model lineup, but lets focus on the two top models for just a moment, ignoring the sedans and the SUVs.

What the heck is Luftgekühlt? For starters, that's the German word for "Air Cooled" (pronounced louft-guh-kewlt). In addition it's also the name of the Porsche world's coolest (pun intended) car shows.

Think about that for a second, Porsche is missing a whole new market using an existing chassis they already have, and a 17 year old French kid saw the gap in their performance offerings and capitalized on the situation.
