I was sad not to see the original Technic Super Car. It had a working V8, 4 wheel drive with 4 wheel steering and 3 way differential, and even an actual gear box with shifter. You could see the pistons pump when you pushed it around. One of the best birthday presents I ever asked for.

I had Test Car 8865, which was quite a bit more primitive but still fairly complete (a 4 cylinder reciprocating engine in a V configuration, a 3 speed transmission, a working rear differential, working front and rear double wishbone suspension, rack and pinion steering, retractable headlights, and adjustable and reclining seats)

The evolution history of such cars, beautifully presented on SE, is fascinating:

That was an amazing set. The first one I bought from my own hard-saved cash as a kid. Really fun to build and amazing (and informative) to see the working steering, differential, suspension, and gear train assemblies.

I have this set laying around, mostly complete. Should really rebuild it someday!

I was dreamed about this set back in mid-90s. Unfortunately my parents wasn't able to afford it, and I only had small and mid sets and not a single "technics" set.

So I was doomed to re-read a paper catalog countless times hoping someday I'll get it.

I had multiple people pitch in for it because I wanted it that badly. Definitely dreamed for it until I finally got it.

Do you know the set number? There is a "Super Car" in Technic with set number 8070, available in the archive. Not sure about the steering and differential, but it seems to feature a V8 and a stick shift.

That was a great set - it also featured double wishbone suspension supported by spring struts.
