A Site Dedicated to the Cars I One Day Hope to Own

One of the top supercars of the 1980's.  Unfortunately it is not legal in the States as Porsche did not provide 4 for crash testing.  30 U.S. spec 959's were originally intended to be sold but they were impounded by DOT and the EPA.  A few made it across the shore, however, even though they are still technically illegal.  You can understand why these few people went through so much trouble to sneak them here as they're powered by a 450 HP engine producing a 0-60 of 3.6 seconds and top speed almost reaching 200 MPH.  The 959 also demonstrated the advantages of 4WD while most other supercars of the time, including the Ferrari F40 and Jaguar XJ220, remained 2WD.
