The 959 was conceived for FIA "Group B" Racing along with the
Ferrari 288 GTO and Lamborghini Countach. The 959 was so far ahead
of its time. Adjustable suspension. It is a race car dressed in
sheep's clothing; it can be pushed to the limit or daily driven to
work. The 9 5 9 really defined the definition, "modern supercar."
The 959 was also the first production car to use Tire Pressure
Monitoring Systems (TPMS). The 959 paved the way for modern
cutting- edge technology in the future super cars.
The twin-turbo charged flat 6 engine pumps out 444hp and propels
the 959 from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and 0-100 in 8.8 seconds.
The 959's were not built for the American Market as Porsche did not
want to commit 4 cars to the U.S. DOT for crash testing, they
argued that it was a 911 model. These were all sold out prior to
production. The 959 was so expensive for Porsche to build, they
lost money on every single car they produced. These cars were
costing Porsche about $550,000 per unit to produce and they were
selling them for $225,000 as they underestimated the production
costs. The technology in the 959 was way beyond anything that was
remotely on the market. The "sequential turbo" technology that was
developed for the 959 made its way to the production cars about a
decade later.
The Porsche 959 truly is and will be one of the most iconic halo
cars. These were limited production cars with 292 production cars
produced. In that number there were 29 "S" models.
The Porsche 959 was versatile in every aspect, it was a streetcar,
it competed in the Paris Dakar Rally and won, it competed in the 24
Hours of LeMans and won its class.
Having driven many super cars and race cars, the 959 is one that is
very streetable, the 959 is a car that you can drive every day and
not feel exhausted. Docile when you want it to be and a performance
car at the flip of a switch.
This 959 Komfort is special car in that it is a 3-Owner example
from new. It has always been serviced and retains all of its
service records. This car has undergone a full major service in the
last two years by Road Scholars and most recently had an annual
service performed by Road Scholars. We just performed a complete
cryogenic cleaning on this car with dry ice and a full concours
detail. It is also protected with a full body paint protection
film.
This example is in the top 1% of 959 examples that are left. Best
of all, the 959 is a supercar that you can drive, every day and not
feel exhausted.
This is a true investment grade example of a "Homologation" car
from the 80's. The 959 is a must have for any Porsche Collection
and a must have for any modern super car collection.
