Some mad man (Canepa) boosted the 959 up to 763HP and gave it modern sticky tires

Apparently it will do 0-60 in about 2.5. Is this the ultimate Porsche? I’m not sure, but someone should drop one off at my house for the weekend so I can find out.

I guess a little of the problem is tech evolves so quickly and it’s like splashing a new face on Mona Lisa every few years. If the original stuff was baggied and this is a bolt on retrofit, that's cool. Sell it as such.

If I recall correctly Canepa was working on federalizing those and had to change to turbos to meet emissions. Doing so just also happens to bump the power quite a bit. No one really complained about it.

LOVE.

However that interior is “YAWN”

Like it looks nice, but not up to par with the rest of the car IMO.

It’s an 80s car, what do you expect?

These guys don’t mess around. I think everything is kept, logged, and stored nicely. They restore and run 917's and 968's, a 959 is no problem.
