		Porsche n'était pas sûr de vouloir que les seuls prototypes de la 959 participent à un rallye si difficile, mais Ickx l'a convaincu.
		La 959 n'était pas prête pour le rallye de 1984, mais Ickx a envoyé trois 911 qui étaient modifiées selon les spécifications de la 959.
		C'était inhabituel pour Porsche, qui était habitué à gagner tous les courses qu'elle courait.

	Porsche 959 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Porsche 959 is a sports car manufactured by Porsche AG from 1986 to 1989, first as a Group B rally car and later as a road going vehicle designed to satisfy FIA homologation regulations requring that a minimum number of street legal units be built.
		Porsche also developed the car's aerodynamics which were designed to increase stability, as was the automatic ride height adjustment that became available on the street car (961 race cars had fixed suspensions).
		The 959 was not street legal in the United States prior to 1999 when the "Show and Display" law was finally passed, although an unknown number were imported via the "grey market" during the late 1980s as show pieces.

	Porsche 959
		In the 80's Porsche had made profit, much due to the 924/944 series, so they felt that they could spend a little money, over $100 million US dollars to be more precise, in the project of the develompment of the 959.
		Porsche belived that they could use the things in future production cars, or that their engineers would be state-of-the-art, but afterwards we know that so far only the 4WD system was used in a simpified form of the 1989 Carrera 4.
		Porsches PSK 4-wheel drive system is the most advanced and also expensive 4WD system that had ever been on a road car.

		The 959, which also represented cutting-edge technology, was developed to the highest level of maturity by the designers and engineers.
		From a technical perspective it was a racing car ”nevertheless the result is a car which has all the comfort and smoothness and no more interior noise that we expect from a road vehicle along with a high safety margin”, said the head of development of the time, Helmuth Bott, not without pride.

		Porsche’s 959 was conceptualised as the ultimate road-going evolution of the long-running 911.
		Accordingly, the 959 was never able to contest any major championships and served almost purely as a flagship for Porsche's wealthiest customers.
		Undoubtedly the greatest similarity between the 911 and 959 were the cockpits, Porsche lifting the interior fixtures and fittings almost directly from the 911.

	Porsche 959 - Classic Driver - MAGAZINE - classic car of the week
		Helmuth Bott, one of Porsche's greatest engineers and the leader of the team that produced the 959, said in 1986 that it was "a car which demonstrates the abilities of the Weissach development team in every aspect of automobile design".
		The essence of the extraordinary 959 was just that: every conceivable example of the latest technology was applied to it and the result was that, for some time, it was undeniably the undisputed top supercar.
		The 959 looked fabulous, it was outrageously quick and it did everything that had been claimed for it.

		It belongs to Porsche aficionado Otis Chandler, who brought it in under a special US import clause that stated the 959 is for "Display Purposes Only" and cannot be driven on a track or on the street.
		Although the 959 was originally legally allowed into the US as a street car, many found their way in as "converted" race cars.
		Since Porsche AG has personally gone to court to keep the cars off of US roads, Canepa is dreaming at this point.

	Inside Line: Porsche 911 - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		By the late 1950s it was obvious to Porsche that the 356, which had started as basically a heavily modified Volkswagen Beetle in 1948, was small and not particularly powerful in comparison to other sports cars at its lofty price level.
		Porsche threw some spark curve and timing changes into the regular 911 engine, bumped the compression ratio up from 9.0 to 1 to 9.8 to 1 and the result was an output jump to 180 horsepower in the 911S.
		The 959 featured wildly soft-edged bodywork, electronically controlled all-wheel drive fed by a six-speed transmission and a radical twin-turbocharged, 2.85-liter flat six with liquid-cooled DOHC cylinder heads, four valves per cylinder and every other technology imaginable to mid-'80s man. Porsche sold only 200 of the 450-horsepower, 197-mph 959s at somewhere north of $240,000 apiece.

	The True Story of Porsche 959
		The Porsche is based on the galvanised sheet steel construction of the 911.
		The 959, however, is a car which permits massive acceleration and deceleration even on wet surfaces, slush or gravel.
		The Porsche, with its interior noise levels reduced allows just a rumble of the staccato of its firing order into its cabin, whereas the F40 smacks at you with each rev. The hoarse howl of the Ferrari V8 is so dominant that very wisely there is no space for a radio in the dashboard.

		Strangely, Porsche 959 was built on a steel monocoque essentially the same as the 911’s.
		Porsche will never increase power without upgrading brakes, especially 959 was the heaviest member of the 911 family and was also by far the fastest.

		So if you decide you want a 959, you'll first have to convince one of 200 people in the world who have one to sell it to you, which may or may not be an easy task, given it's place in history.
		Porsche also made the 961 a full race version of the 959- only one example was produced.

		The Porsche body pan was used, though I had to hack-on and re-position the rear half to make room for the tires and rear end.
		The Porsche independant front suspension was dumped in favor of the straight front axle from the funny car.

		Based (lightly) around 911, the 959 was Porsche's homologation special for Group B rallying.
		A technical tour de force for its time (and still much so today), the 959 boasted all-wheel drive with active torque splitdriver, selectable traction settings (for dry, wet and snow conditions), electronically adjustable ride height and damper control, water cooled cylinder heads and multi-stage turbocharging and 911 evolved composite body provided 'zero-lift'.
		All 283 959s built cost Porsche more than double the price the customer was charged.

	MPH Magazine - Greatest Cars Ever: Porsche 959 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In the early '80s, Porsche was looking to "rip it up" (it sounds much better in German) in the FIA's new production-based Group B class.
		Quick change of plans: Because Porsche figured that rallying wouldn't benefit its road cars, the 959 magically became its rolling technology lab, with allwheel drive, sequential twin turbos, and more expensive materials and finishes than Diddy's sock-garter closet.
		(Still, Porsche did run the 959 in special rallies like Paris-Dakar.) Partially because Group B rules stipulated that 200 road cars be built, Porsche based the 959 on the 911 rather than a new midengined design that was sure to spook the shit out of its customers.

		The 959 does not meet the US street legal specification, and Porsche has refused to modify it to meet some bureaucrat's demands.
		It's a beautiful addition to the Porsche stable of stallions, and in my opinion easily the best of the new roadsters when compared to the MB SLK and the BMW Z3.
