The PORSCHE 959 was pointed for the first time to the IAA 1983 in Frankfurt still as study of the group B. Two years later in September 1985 the PORSCHE 959 was presented to 1986 officially on the IAA and came then to 1988 to the distribution at its orderers.

For safety reasons the PORSCHE 959 has a tire pressure display, which lights up individually for each wheel, if the air pressure does not correspond to the specification.

By the four-wheel drive PORSCHE 959 one can also with unfavorable conditions the high performance on the road surely bring. Two electronically controlled multiple disk clutches correct the torque for the front or rear wheels. The driver can programieren the adjustment for conditions like dry or wet roadway, ice and snow or heavy area. The brake assembly PORSCHE 959 is appropriate for the unusual performance of the vehicle and consists of 4 ventilated four-pistons disc brakes.

Chassis and chassis:
Self-supporting body structure from steel sheet, doubled
Wishbone at both axles, wheel suspension: in each case 1 Ferderbein + 1 parallel absorber leg, steering rack.
Vierrad disc brakes with servo support.
Tyre in front: 235/45 VR 17, in the back: 255/275/40 VR 17

As PORSCHE 959 Swere built only 29 vehicles, those by omitting some technical details, e.g. air conditioning system, zentralverriegelung, vertical adjustment, rear seats u.v.m. were weight-reduced, around workstation to create for an racing-oriented configuration.

With 959 vehicles it concerns the PORSCHE particularly high-quality High Tech carrier. Beside the electronically regulated all-wheel drive a again developed level adjustment system dependent on the rate was used. It lowers the PORSCHE 959 automatically at high rates to the value a b necessary forsafety reasons.

Begg low speed can select the driver the clearance. An additional high position is intended for special situations, e.g. becoming released in the area. The level control PORSCHE 959 is made by an electronically regulated hydraulic system.

Engine:
four valves per cylinder in V arrangement with hydraulic tappets, ever 2 obenliegende cam shafts with kettenantrieb, light alloy of cylinder heads, 8 drawer stored crankshaft, dry sump lubrication with 18 L oil contents and 2 oil coolers,
2 superchargers and 2 intercoolers. Motoronic, digitally controlled.

Power transmission:
6 course transmission, variable distribution of the driving power on the axles, electronically regulated intermediate and Hiterachs differential, manually lockable.

The PORSCHE 959 belongs today to the particularly valuable collecting tank vehicles. The value of these vehicles is very stable since 1991 on high level and is situated with approximately 400.000,-- DM to 600.000,-- DM
