The cab forward form of the 911 makes it rather unique and to me is the hallmark of the design and the car: A world class sports car with seating position, outward vision, and overall feel of a mid size sedan. This aspect is rarely discussed but I believe it to be the primary reason why the 911 has become such a hugely successful platform.
You really think so?
So what was it that made 911 so successful back in the air-cooled engine days? It most certainly didn't have the overall feel of a mid-size sedan back then.
