New Porsche 959 IIRC
Which was the four-wheel-drive twin-turbo Über-Porsche of its day, the late eighties / early nineties -- and probably still a credible threat to any Ultra-Ferrari F40, F50, or (upcoming) F60 on real roads.

I *think* I read somewhere, a few years later, that the model had been legalised for US road use, retroactively legalising Gates' car and that of whoever the other guy (Paul Allen, Steve Forbes?) was, who imported one at the same time as Bill.

But I'm not sure.

that he will explore taking it to its limits - with all the concentration required to rip-off BASIC, all the confidence a successful racketeer feels after first Billion - and Go Billy! echoin in his ears...

Y'know?
