Default 964s genetic link with Volkswagen
I recently removed the alternator on the euro RS and it made me smile when I saw the mini-fan at the back. It's a direct link to the VW ancestory. What else on our cars is a direct product of the VW bloodline... apart from the manual window winders on my RS ?

Aircooled VW primary fan

I buy the 22" rubber wiper blade inserts for my 993 from Volkswagen. They're the same dang insert
that I buy for my GTI. They must be cut to length.

If I recall correctly, the VW Beatle was of course designed by Prof. Ing. Porsche!

He also designed the famous Tiger Tank used by the SS and thier armored personnel carriers.
