Understanding the legacy that started it all
When Porsche unveiled the 959 in 1986, it wasn't just a car—it was a technological tour de force that redefined what a super-car could be. Born from Porsche's Group B racing program, the 959 introduced innovations that were decades ahead of their time.
With its sequential twin-turbo system, all-wheel drive, adjustable ride height, tire pressure monitoring, and composite materials, the 959 set new standards for performance, technology, and sophistication. It was the world's fastest street-legal production car, achieving 197 mph when most supercars struggled to reach 180 mph.
Only 337 units were ever produced, making it one of the rarest and most coveted Porsches ever created. Each one represented a loss for Porsche—the company sold them below production cost because the engineering achievement mattered more than profit.
