Two articles enclosed. The first with great depth and detail, the second much lighter on technical info, but still containing a few interesting tidbits. Pictured above is a prototype nicknamed "Black Bomber", a subtle nod to "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis. V6, V8, AWD, PDK transmission, it was all on the table. What an amazing time in the 911s history.

As much as I love the 959, the 964 body type is my favorite 911 style to this day. So I can't really cry too much over what was "lost."

The seam going down the body + no visible cabin make me think it's a transformer.

This is a great article for Porsche fans but let’s set the record straight.....

The 959 was the predecessor to the 933 Turbo/ Turbo S. Not the 969.
