In September 1988, the Porsche competition department disbanded, and the brilliantly creative Norbert Singer was consigned to road car development. If Singer were an undercover policeman, he’d been relegated to desk duties. In 1991, the last 962 rolled out of Weissach and Porsche’s financial affairs weren’t as buoyant as they became in the 21st century....
