This was Porsche flexing its muscles, showing off what itcould do when it threw all rules out the window. Developed initially as a four-wheel-drive Group B contender, the959 was the first to bring space-age complexity to the racetrack.Its body showcases an incredible synergy of aluminum and Aramid(Kevlar), lighter than a whisper but tough as nails. It's likePorsche took a page out of Formula One's book, then wrote a wholenew chapter with it. Underneath that sleek exterior roars a 2.85L powerhouse. Thissix-cylinder 'boxer' engine, decked out with air cooled cylindersand water-cooled double-overhead-camshaft four-valve cylinderheads, was a marvel. Boasting 450bhp, this titan can blast past195mph without breaking a sweat. But the 959 wasn't just about speed. It was a symphony ofsophisticated technology and luxury. With a four-wheel-drive andsix-speed transmission that could adapt to any condition and doublewishbone suspension for a ride as smooth as silk, this car was adream to handle. And let's not forget the comforts - electricwindows and mirrors, climate control, and seats that adjust justthe way you like. The Porsche 959 is a highly sought-after and rare sports car thatwas difficult to acquire due to its limited production and highdemand. The model was nicknamed "Porsche's gift to its favoritecustomers." The desirability of the Porsche 959 was so strong thateven collectors in the United States, where the cars could not belegally imported, sought ways to obtain them through a "greymarket." However, the Show and Display Law 1998, supported byPorsche legend Bruce Canepa, eventually allowed for the legalimportation of the 959. The 1987 Porsche 959 "Komfort" isn't just a collector's dream; it'sa beacon of automotive excellence. It stands as a testament to theera when Porsche dared to redefine what a supercar could be. Andwith only 292 of the 959 ever to be created it's one of Porschesrarest. The previous owner had a substantial car collection and put in over$200k on the refurbishment of this car, which Canepa was honored tocomplete given our history and passion for excellence in this typeof project specifically. He wanted this 959 to be in completelyoriginal and pristine, unrestored condition. In addition, he wantedto make sure it was mechanically and cosmetically like new, frontto back. Every mechanical component was fully tested with the goalof having the car ready to enjoy for another 20+ years. Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put throughan extensive and diligent process called the "Canepa Difference."This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection whereall systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. Theyalso receive award-winning concours-level detailing, including athorough cleaning of each and every surface.
