The internally ventilated, perforated dual circuit disc brakes also derived from the Porsche 911 Turbo, as did the wheel hubs.<\/p>\n<p>The pure sporty nature of the vehicle which was already seen in these performances also extended to its comfort: for there was none, apart from the fact that sports drivers might consider the racing seats deriving from the Porsche 935 to be comfortable. The interior was covered and designed merely with black needle felt. For weight reasons Porsche has even dispensed with the damping material used on the Porsche 924 Carrera GT.
