Default Quiz: 1986 928S dealer's product workbook

Ques are all extremely elementary, I don't expet to post any stumpers, but thought I might post some of the questions that are at the end of each chapter at least for the novelty of the era...

Porsche derive the use of exposed, upward-facing headlamps as used on the 928 from:

A- Porsche Competition Cars of the period
B- the Lamborghini Miura
C- The Porsche 904 GTS
D- The Prosche 550 Spyder

Answer to follow at some later, not too distant time...if there's interest I'll post others as time goes on. Again, none real challenging...

I'll get the ball rollin'..... the Miura

EDIT: Oops! Was I just the guy who raised his hand in class and belted out the answer before being called on by the teacher?

Since I was a tiny boy, and my sister and I rode often in our Pappa's targa 911T in sunny Johannesburg, I've wanted a Miura. We rode once in an Urraco and it was a blast! But the beauty of a Miura, there's nothing like it with the bonnet and hood that open, that gorgeous flat stance etc.

Personally I love the 928's popup lights, dislike the 944's, but would love a more modern light setup.

Hmm, maybe this will be interesting after all...future editions will be anonymous.

According to Porsche's publication (at least this one), correct answer is:

A. Porsche competition cars of the period.

I have no idea which ones...I'm just working off of the "Knowledge Workbook" here!
