The Secret Message Porsche Left For Honda In A 911 GT3 Test Car
Most everyone knows that automakers buy
competitors’ cars to test and take apart to see how they can make their
better and faster. But when Porsche caught Honda in the act, they left a
sassy little note.
When Acura was developing
the NSX in its Ohio plant, it assessed the steering on a
Porsche 911 GT3 after buying one just like any other customer would, NSX vehicle dynamics project leader Nick Robinson told
Automotive News.
However, after the
GT3 was recalled
to repair an issue with the connecting rods, Porsche engineers were
somehow able to figure out who bought the car after going through the
information in its black box.
Robinson recalled that Porsche sent back the GT3 with a message under the engine cover that read:
“Good luck Honda from Porsche. See you on the other side.”
