 | | Many of the concepts that Porsche envisioned for the future was embodied in the 959, including the sequential twin-turbocharging of the 450bhp engine, which was derived from the 956/962 racing powerplant, electronically controlled variable four-wheel drive, six speed transmission, automatically adjustable ride-height and shock stiffness and zero-lift aerodynamics (all this for a car in 1985). |
 | | The Porsche 904, often considered as the first of the so-called modern Porsches, was in actuality a transition car that bridged the gap between the companys line of historic Spyders and the lightweight, powerful specials, which in the latter half of the 1960s brought Porsche to the forefront of prototype racing. |
 | | Porsche hammered out parameters for a modified version of the 956, which would be known as the 962 when it debuted in the hands of Mario and Michael Andretti at the 1984 season-opening Daytona-24hours event. |
