About the 1988 Porsche 959 Sport

The 959 Sport represents the ultimate evolution of Porsche's technological tour de force, with just 29 examples built for the most demanding customers. Stripped of luxury amenities and fitted with a more aggressive suspension setup, the Sport variant pushed the 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six to 515 horsepower, 65 more than the standard car. The result was a 211-mph top speed that made it the world's fastest production car when tested. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's design looked futuristic in 1988 and remains striking today, with its integrated spoilers and distinctive fender flares housing the complex all-wheel-drive system. The Sport's rarity and extreme performance have made it one of the most valuable Porsches ever built, with examples commanding well over $2 million at auction. Each car represents a piece of automotive history, showcasing technology that wouldn't become commonplace for decades. The 959 Sport stands as the ultimate expression of 1980s supercar excess.
