#Porsche #959 #911
From the snowy banks of Sweden to the scorching blacktops of circuits around the globe, in the mid 1980's Porsche was on top, and couldn’t fail.
But behind those colorful race cars, In the shadows of those podium celebrations, Porsche, at its core, was rotting. Years of bad decisions had left the business side of Sttugart’s finest in shambles. Gearheads who won races had no idea how to be profitable in the modern world.
The future of the worlds must stuffy and successful sports car brand was on a razors edge.
In that darkest moment, a few brave minds at Porsche decided to take a risk and build an out of this world machine so powerful; so complex, so far ahead of its time, that it would change the future of fast cars forever,
And nearly kill Porsche itself, in the process.
This is the story of the greatest car Porsche ever made…
The 959.

    My friends just bought a RUF 930 and brought it to the place I was.We were racing cars together back then. They said it would be cool if I drove to the next place we were going. So at properly jumped in the front seat of the car, took it down the road I’ve been down 100 times,in other cars that were fast also. I said watch this and jumped it over the railroad tracks right before a sweeping left-hand corner that I had done many times in other cars. When we hit the ground, lol, the rearend and the back tires went off the road a little bit. I countered steered and I drove it through the corner with the Excelerator Holding my line and hoping when I pulled up on the asphalt we would be OK. That is not what happened. At the place where I was coming back up onto the asphalt there was about a 4 inch rise above the grass. The car jumped up just enough to loosen the rear end And turned around backwards in a split second and backed into the front end of a lady coming in the other direction. Crushing her car to pieces. Luckily, we all walked away. The two cars were totaled. Last time I ever drove a Porsche.

    I concur!. The 959 is the GREATEST CAR ever made!. I remembered reading a magazine article (when I was young) about some journalists test driving this car in the autobahn where they overtook 20 cars at 186mph! And other story where a German doctor with a 928 V8 engined Beetle was cruising at 155Mph on the autobahn at night when he saw two bright lights approaching him fast on his rear view mirror. Sweat drips from his forehead as he floored it to 165mph and those 2 lights passed him like he was doing 40mph. It was a Blue and a White 959 racing!.

While I agree about the importance of the 959, it is not the single most important supercar. Why?? Glad you asked - because it is not merely one pinnacle car. The story of supercars is a story of several supercars. E-Type, Miura, 512 BBi, 288 GTO, F40, McLaren F1 etc.
