Car of the Week | Porsche 959 '87

[Racer283]

Supposedly the 959 was going to replace the 911's and the 911 was going to be discontinued because the Head Person at Porsche felt that the 911's were losing interest of their customers. We all know that is not true because the 911's are still around. Also a technological feature of the 959 is that it had automatic ride height control. In essence the 959 is the perfect Porsche ever built.

Adult me knows the car for being one of the many Group B cars that never came to be, as well as the starting point for a certain Prodrive.

Kid me knows the car being chased by police in the French (I guess) backstreets from the game that started the strict Porsche licensing agreement just about everyone hated.
