Presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the form of a Group B racing car prototype, the Porsche 959 had to be produced in at least 200 series models to be homologated. This is what motivated the manufacturer to develop this futuristic technology car in the early 1980s. With a 2.8-liter flat-6 engine powered by two turbos, it develops 450 hp and can kill 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds. To get all this power to the ground, it is equipped with an incredibly complex all-wheel drive and controlled damping!
That's not all, because among the standard equipment, we can still cite the ABS and indecent tires.
In 3 years of production, only 283 units were built, which are today the holy grail of collectors of the Stuttgart brand.
On November 6, RM Sothby's will put a 1987 copy up for sale.
Having traveled only 27,000 km, it has never been restored, so its price could reach 1.2 million euros.
