    Given there were less than 340 ever made, the purist in me wants to hate this... but the sheer level of passion, engagement and development that has gone into this is remarkable... and given those updated power figures, it suddenly becomes very difficult to hate!! If I ever win the lottery, I may well be giving Canepa Motorsport a call...

    The one thing I didn’t like about the original 959 was the wheels. They looked undersized and lost in the fenders. Now I learn there was a reason for that. I’m not usually a fan of large diameter rolling stock (no bigger than 16” on a 911, please!) but Canepa’s wheels make the 959 look like it should have all along. This project is mind-blowing - WOW!

    Thank you so much Bruce, I really enjoyed this. You're a fantastic ambassador, custodian of the 959. To see a 959 featured on TH-cam is a rarity. Would be really cool if one of your customers did a full review of what it's like owning a re-imagined 959.

    I have known Bruce since about 1978 when I left Peter Gregg's company in Jax, FL and opened a new car franchise for Mercedes-Benz in CA. He was in Santa Cruz then but the shop you see here is in Scotts Valley, CA a huge shop that was a Seagate Technology Factory. I have been around new and used cars professionally for more then 50 years with some of the best people and business's in the field and NO ONE does the quality of work that he does on so many different cars strictly "cost-no-object" quality work that is startling sometimes it is so amazing. He does drive one of the 959's everyday -- last time I saw him was by accident in Los Gatos, CA he was driving a red/black 959 and we chatted a bit he looked sounded great! BTW he is very very good race driver and has raced all manner of particularly Porsche's but Pikes Peak Hill Climb and Trans-Am Javelin's as well. I have driven his actual 959 as well as Bill Gates and Paul Allen's and several others which were having work done on them @ Euro-Tech Grant Miller's electronics prototype Co. that was near my Porsche / Mercedes / BMW & Bentley dealership in Fremont CA. They are & were astonishing cars that he has developed to a level that is UNimaginable to touch, see and drive. His shop in Scotts Valley is filled with that kind of work all the time and has a great little museum as well in the showroom. If you want to challenge him to do some creative work bring a heavy wallet & patience the result will stun all who see the car! Tom C. / Las Vegas, NV

Knew all the specs, performance figures, options etc. Then finally had a chance to sit in one in 1993, and it was magic! If I ever win the lottery this is the first car I buy!

I wonder if one of those 10 to 15 cars was a Canepa Special. -- I really enjoy, and appreciate, the way Bruce describes the process in broad terms but with enough detail to keep everyone interested.

    While every 959 you do will no doubt be spectacular, that beautiful green car looks the best. Those 959's look better in the brighter or more unique colors. Even Porsche has to be proud of the work you are doing to preserve these incredible machines. These Porsche's (among many other Porsche models) will no doubt be around for hundreds of years to come due to the preservation work and superior upgraded materials being used. There aren't many car manufacturers today who can say that. It's a testament to how good Porsche cars are. There is probably no other manufacturer in business that has such a loyal following of preservation (other than the Hypercar manufacturers) than Porsche.

    I was in high school when this car came out and I literally dreamt about these things. How far advanced this car was for its time can not be overstated. In fact, I don't think any other car has been produced that has been so far advanced as thr 959. This guy is brilliant. I wouldn't even be able to change the altenator in a 959, let alone strip off literally every bolt and rebuild it.
    They were expensive back then, at roughly 250k USD, when a countach was roughly 100k. And they are really expensive now, fetching between 1 to 2 million I beleive. So can you imagine what it would cost to buy one and then have all this done to it?

      He was instrumental in getting these federalized for import before being 25 yrs old. The modifications started there to meet emissions. Guess it just stuck and he wanted to continue to improve upon them. You could import a completely stock one now for registration since they are greater than 25 yrs old though.

      If you think these cars are worth less than an original, you haven’t tried to buy one…

    the 959 was my dream car when i was a kid in the 90s when I first saw it. It's still my dream car today. It will probably be my dream car when I'm old and grey.

    I love the 959 and remember having a Testors metal bodied model. Painted mine Kiln Red Metallic. Beautiful in a classic way. So far ahead of everything else. Wouldn’t mind having a 992 Turbo S as a consolation if I can’t get a 959!

    All my friends had posters of Ferrari F40s, Testarossa's, Countach's etc, i had those too, but i was the only one with a poster of a silver 959. It's the dream car i always wanted, and it still is, but in a dark silver or metallic midnight blue.

    It’s a great car! I’m partial to the 918 Spyder as the ‘ultimate’ Porsche. Thanks for the video...
