For example, their racing engineering team is not a dedicated team. One day the same people will prepare the 24h Nurburgring racing car and another day will work on a project in the factory. It has been said that a 90% of the components of their racing cars comes from the ordinary production. I don't know any other manufacturer who can claim this.


I will call that out as a bunch of nonsense as well.

Except for the 90% stock engine in the 24h Nürburgring promotional race car, which i don’t remember ever placing well.
