Porsche 959 - now THAT is a peice of work.

pity it ended up being a bit still born.

Fantastic car though.

It wasn't a still born at all.

It was first built to be a Group B Rally car & competed with great success, but to qualify for FIA reg's, they had to build 200 of them, just like the Audi Sport Quattro's etc.

The short production run also made the price very high.

They did make them, but at a time when Ferrari also had the world beating F40 & Jad had the XJ220

Very hard to compete with that.

A bloke my brother used to work with told use some storie's when he went over sea's for training & drove them.

Awesome!

ahuh. nothin better than an aircooled twin turbo porsche flat-6.

It actually had watercooled cyl. head's.

This blew me away when I saw it, the car and the driver are just amazing. It is a video:
