Listed for auction on Bring a Trailer is a legendary Porsche 959 with a current bid exceeding $1.3 million.
Originally built as a Group B rally car, the 959 was Porsche’s original supercar. Porsche eventually built in a limited run of 337 units. When it hit the road, the 959 was the fastest and most technologically advanced car ever made. It packed an advanced all-wheel drive system and a twin-turbo flat six with 444 horsepower to drive it to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a 195mph top speed. It was so technically advanced for the time that it blew every competitor out of the water.
This particular 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort is one of the 292 units manufactured during the mentioned period. Originally delivered in Germany in April 1988, it was later imported to the US in the mid-2000s.
Finished in its original Silver Metallic hue and burgundy leather interior, this 959 is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox transmitting power to all four wheels via a Porsche-Steuer Kupplung (PSK) all-wheel-drive system with electronically controlled drive settings.
Additional features include electronically adjustable suspension, drilled and ventilated anti-lock disc brakes, 17” hollow-spoke magnesium alloy wheels, tire-pressure monitoring, heated and power-adjustable sport seats with gray tri-tone leather accents, air conditioning, and a Blaupunkt Bremen cassette stereo.
Opportunities to acquire a Porsche 959 are rare, with only 337 units produced between 1986 and 1988, not to mention that they were initially not available for sale in the United States when new. So, don’t miss this chance to own one of Porsche’s most iconic models offered in pristine condition.
