The Auto Bild klassik editorial team presents around 180 pages in issue 8/2016 and, as always, the magazine opens with a compilation of very different classics.
Under the title "Dreams from a wild time", six cars from the seventies are compared that certainly meet different requirements. There is the Opel Manta A Black Magic, the Lamborghini Countach LP 400, the VW Scirocco 1 GTI, the Datsun 260 Z 2+2, the Pontiac Firebird TransAm and the two incomparable Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and Porsche 917/30 - truly a diverse "starting field".

In the 1980s (and beyond), it was common to use the same engine across many model series.
