BTW - The 959 is nothing like a F40 other than both are turbocharged licensed street cars. Totally different purposes & concepts. The F40 is an ill mannered beast that is wickedly difficult to tame. I might add, Porsche AWD has come a longggg way since the 959. I agree. Apples and oranges.

I should've clarified the comparison with the performance of the cars in the game.

It would've been better if FM made the 959 in AWD,like the real car. Do you think that might have been an oversight? I can't imagine Porsche would've wanted (or allowed) the car incorrectly represented in the game.

FM is full of oversights when it comes to Porsche, which is very odd. The 918 Weissach is a RWD in this game while in real life it’s famously AWD to a degree where its characteristic battery system powers the front wheels. Lots of AWD cars listed as RWD actually. Then they give the “rear engine” designation that the 911 holds to random ridiculous cars like the F12 Berlinetta and Huayra BC (and plenty others). And finally, the new GT2 RA has a 240 MPH top speed which is laughably ridiculously inaccurate. That top speed should be way lower and the braking figure they give it should be better.
