Owners describe the R107 as a solid, over-engineered 'Panzer' built for effortless top-down cruising rather than sporty handling, and among the closest vintage cars to a modern driving experience. Comparisons to a 911 are explicitly waved off; the appeal is comfort, refinement, and long-distance ease.
Driving character: over-engineered boulevard cruiser, not a sports car
