Porsche 959
Highlights
- Iconic Supercar
- Complete History
- Performance Upgrade 515hp
To say the Porsche 959 is a legend is an understatement. The 959 was indisputably a turning point in Porsche history, and represented a shift toward cutting edge technology and all-wheel drive in the pursuit of performance.
With a top speed of 197 mph (317 km/h), it was officially the fastest car in the world. When it debuted, it edged out the Ferrari 288 GTO’s.
The 959 technology platform was built on the basis of the 911 model line in an exclusive series of 292 cars. With a biturbo flat engine featuring water-cooled 4-valve cylinder heads, an electronically controlled chassis and all-wheel drive system, as well as an aerodynamically optimised body, Porsche demonstrated what was possible in the field of automotive design at that time. Despite its price of 420,000 Deutschmarks, the 959 quickly sold out.
