Turbocharged, front-engine sports car using a balance-shaft 2.5-liter inline-four with a rear transaxle for near-perfect weight distribution. Internally the 951, it delivered 220 hp (250 in later Turbo S form) and crisp handling. Praised for its balance, it was among the best-handling cars of the 1980s.
