    It was a sarcastic answer (hence the smilie), I knew the answer but you beat me. But Anyway I'll try to answer yours... Wasn't Dr.Furhmann (or something similar), and I don't know about the other part of the question.

    they are commisioned to supply seats for the high performance models


    what year was the boxster oncept introduced
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    That's partially true, but I would prefer the full answer (hint there was something before seats).

    Year for the Boxster concept car was 1995 I think.

    Ferrer, you only partly answered my question so putting up the next one is premature. When I saud next, I really meant the next part of my question, i.e. the specifics of the Fuhrmann OHC drive

    I think it has all got a bit messy... So things to answer are:

    What are the particularities of the Fuhrmann OHC?
    What is the relation between Porsche and Recaro?
    What was the year the Boxster Concept car was introduced?

    About the first question I really can't remember the specific of the Fuhrmann flat four engine (I should look it up, and for fair play I won't do it) all I can't remember is that Ferry Porsche asked Dr. Fuhrmann to build a 1.5-litre engine to see how much power they could get from it and it developed 112bhp if I'm not mistaken.

    PS. Henk, As you said in your reponse "Fuhrmann is correct, next..." I assumed you didn't need/want the other part of the answer, so it was completely my fault sorry."
