1988 2.8-LITRE PORSCHE 959 TWIN TURBO-CHARGED SPORTS COUPE
Registration No. Registered in Belgium
Chassis No. WPOZZZ95ZHS900029
Engine No. 65H00129
Metallic silver with grey trim.
Engine: flat six cylinder, double overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder, twin KKK turbochargers, 2,849cc, 450bhp at 6,500rpm; Gearbox: six speed manual, permanent four-wheel drive; Brakes: power-assisted self ventilated discs with ABS; Suspension: unequal length upper and lower A-arms, coil springs, anti-roll bar with electronically controlled height adjustment. Left hand drive.
The 959 is already regarded as one of the ultimate 'Supercars' ever produced and made available to the public. With only around 250 built they are assured of their place in motoring history from such a famous marque.
First created in 1983 for the now abandoned Group B racing series, the 959 was based upon the 911 Carrera, with a similar steel tub and same wheelbase, similar cockpit, but little else in common. The muscular bodywork was an all new design intended to make maximum use of surface aerodynamics. With a rear wing incorporated into the external shape and a number of ducts and vents to allow controlled air through the bodywork, Porsche managed to achieve an 0.31 drag coefficient with zero lift. Materials used include doors and front lid of magnesium alloy a nose cap of polyurethane and the rest a fiberglass/Kevlar composite.
The power comes from a highly developed version of the 911 flat six engine with twin KKK turbochargers, twin intercoolers, four valves per cylinder and uses titanium con rods. The turbo operation is two stage, one is permanently adding boost whilst the other phases in power as the revs rise above 4,000rpm. The air/water cooling system is as derived from the Le Mans winning 956 Group C cars having air cooled cylinders and water cooled heads. The four wheel drive system is a unique and highly sophisticated arrangement providing the ultimate combination of speed and driver safety. The rear wheels are driven conventionally through a six speed gearbox and rear differential while the front wheels operate through a Porsche multi plate control clutch in an oil filled chamber situated between the gearbox and the front transverse differential. Varying clutch oil pressure determines front torque delivery, so there is no central differential and the rear differential is locking. With the aid of computers and wheel mounted speed sensors the 959 can be programmed for four different driving conditions which will alter the torque between front and rear wheels. At all times the system is able to adjust to the conditions even during cornering. Hazards such as ice causing rear wheel slip will be compensated by front wheel drive.
Other high-tech features include computer controlled shock absorber suspension control - one set stiffens as speed rises whilst another lowers the car over 95mph to improve the aerodynamics. A manual overide is also provided. There is hydraulically boosted rack and pinion steering, ABS braking, special safety tyres with run flat capability and pressure loss sensors. On this Comfort version there is full leather upholstery, top of the range stereo, air conditioning, electric windows and seats and improved sound proofing. This example importantly has a full service history, recently had its 20,000km scheduled service and has covered approimately 17,000km from new.
With a manuafacturers quoted top speed in the region of 190mph and the brilliance of the Porsche technology enabling supreme road holding and safety combined with comfort and style this is true racing car designed for road drivers.
