Porsche wins the front overhang wars
 

I used the Road &Track data panels to measure overhang on a few sports cars. I have always wondered how much more overhang Porsches have than other cars.

Units are inches. Overhang is from the tire to the end of the car.

True, but it's the only one with 2 trunks. The radiators in front of the wheels require more front overhang. To me, a very worthwhile trade-off.

Overhang is needed for the signature fender humps.

I wonder what the measurement for this is.

Oh wait, I don't care because it looks hot.

But that's not a Porsche :P

What? You're still here? You **know** you want a Porsche again ... I'll trade you straight across for the Elise. :-)

The front overhang on a Testarossa is huge! Obviously "front overhang" is a compensating mechanism. :D
