2025.7.40Scope and Content
This showroom poster depicts the highly sought after Porsche 959, produced from 1986 to 1993, is widely regarded as one of the most technologically advanced supercars of its era, originally developed to meet Group B rally homologation requirements. Powered by a 2.8‑liter twin‑turbo flat‑six producing around 450 PS, it introduced innovations such as all‑wheel drive, sequential turbocharging, advanced aerodynamics, and computer‑controlled suspension, setting new performance benchmarks for road‑going sports cars. Although Group B was canceled before it could fully compete, the 959 became a landmark road car, influencing Porsche’s future turbocharged and AWD models and earning a reputation as a hyper‑advanced machine decades ahead of its time.Collection
