All race cars break now and then, but when you’re decade ahead of the game things break more often

The 951 was a race car before a road car with the 86 in particular being homologated.....they were also very much ahead of the game, some tech of which found its way into F1, such as the rear diffuser which has also found it's way into many high-performance cars since...they are pretty reliable too.....
