Video: Remembering Porsche's V8 Powered Type 965

Once upon a time, Porsche was developing a successor to the legendary 959. While the car never came to fruition, the car known internally as the Type 965 is a really iconic car in Porsche history and the German marque has released the following video remembering the car.

What made the Porsche Type 965 so unique was the fact that it was powered by an Audi sourced water-cooled V8 engine. The car featured in this video is still wearing the matte black camouflage it had during testing!
