When you have a collection full of the best super-cars, a Porsche 959 is a must . They redefined the sports car market in the late 1980s with its many technological advancements that have since become standard on most modern super-cars. In comparison to the Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Countach, which were very raw, simple machines, the 959 had many electronic and mechanical improvements that made the 959 the most luxurious, reliable, and tractable. Alongside Lamborghini’s Countach and Ferrari’s F40 and 288 GTO, the 959 was not only a “poster car” for a generation of automotive enthusiasts, but also an ultimate low-production hand-built collectible.
Powered by a flat-6 engine derived from the successful 962 race car, the 959 used water-cooled heads instead of air-cooling as the thermal limit could not accommodate the 444 HP output of the 959. Power was fed through a specially designed Borg-Warner 6-speed transmission, which includes an extremely low ”Gelände” gear for use in off-road situations, which the Type 961 rally car might have encountered. Porsche’s Porsche-Steur-Kupplung (PSK) system allowed the driver to vary the 370 lb-ft of torque between the rear and front axles, allowing up to 80% to the rear under hard acceleration, all managed electronically.
This 1987 Porsche 959 offered here for sale, and has only accumulated a mere 7700 miles from new.
