Porsche 959

Description[]

The Porsche 959 is a high-performance sports car manufactured by Porsche from 1986 to 1993. Designed by Helmuth Bott, the 959 was an all-wheel drive sports car combining high performance with comfort and drivability; it was initially designed as a Group B rally car before plans were shelved for competition due to the demise of Group B regulations. The 959 was powered by a 2.8L 959/50 twin-turbocharged flat-6 mated to a 6-speed manual making 444 horsepower; when introduced the 959 was the fastest street-legal production car. Now valued at over $1 million, the 959 is currently one of the more desirable Porsche models, having garnered a significant following. 345 were produced.
