Technical Marvel

The Porsche 959 was equipped with a 2.85-liter twin-turbo boxer engine delivering 450 horsepower at 6500 rpm. One of the most fascinating technological innovations was the electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system that ensured state-of-the-art traction control and elevated the driving experience to new heights. It reached a top speed of 197 mph (317 km/h) and accelerated from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.7 seconds. At its time, the Porsche 959 was the fastest production car in the world. The predecessor of the Porsche 959 was the Porsche 911, on which many design and technical aspects are based.
