not sure if thats quite right, because its also german for "group" and i wonder if it relates to group A / S / N etc in rallying???
there obviously must be a difference between the "gruppe" N & S is it in the performance? or just the style?


but i may also be a looney

Gruppe-S is a make, Group N is a category for Rallying.

doh...i know that...
i was saying "prehaps" it has something to do with the spec...as in group n etc,
as gruppe is german for group...(gruppe n ---group n )

if "gruppe" is a make...then what is the S & N for...
and i asked does it have any relivance to rallying? as there made for semi rally cars...not so daft a question.

I bought mine in a Group buy on Snet run by a good guy called 'chrome'.
They came in from the factory in the USofA

I think www.zenperformance.com might be a good starting place or buy direct from Gruppe S with 2$ to the pound!

There is a company called Gruppe M. They are more Porsche specialist. I think they are a Hong Kong/British company?? I could be wrong?

I know they had factory backing in the FIA GT from Porsche but they vanished after the backing ended when Porsche wanted to do factory racing in the ALMS.

I'll get my coat..........

Group S was a proposed replacement for Group B back in the early 80's with manufacturers only having to make 20 (instead of 200) cars, of course the death of Group B put paid to that, as FISA didn't want to replace one extreme car with another more extreme!

Unless its a blag from that I just think its a nice imaginative name!
