Disc brakes were hardly a new technology in 1962, as Jaguar and Dunlop had tested the concept in the crucible of motorsport as early as a decade prior at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Up to this point in the company’s history, Porsche had been using tried and true (and cheap) drum brakes, even on all but a few of its racing cars, but the company wanted to build a winning Formula 1 car for the 1962 season and needed better brakes. Instead of paying Dunlop to license the technology, Porsche set about engineering its own system, and making it lighter.

Porsche Once Developed A Radically Different Kind Of Disc Brake

Back in 2014, Detlev von Platen, then CEO of Porsche Cars North America, was quoted by Autoweek as saying, "At Porsche, our entry model is pre-owned." In other words, if you’re looking for an “affordable” Porsche, your best choice is a used one. However, this raises the question—can you buy a used Porsche sports car for about the same money as a new Toyota Prius Prime, without going broke trying to keep it running?

Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.
