The rear-wheel steer on the Porsche 918 Spyder uses an electro-mechanical adjustor at each wheel, and can turn the rear wheels up to three degrees in either direction. Depending on the speed of travel, the result is improved turn-in or stability. At any pace, it's impressive.

In a happy coincidence of nice round numbers, it's 10 years since the 918 Spyder concept first appeared and it's also the 35th birthday of the 959. The Carrera GT? Well, that was first shown as a concept car in 2000.
