I saw one this spring while my car was in the shop for repairs. What they are capable of

A friend of mine spotted this 959 at a Concourse in Michigan recently. I don't know a lot about this model other than what I read on the Wikipedia site as a first run "supercar" class. Very interesting! Does anybody have any other info or direct experience with the 959?

I think it was R&T that ran an article on the Alabama plated one. If I recall correctly, the only mod was an added 911 muffler.

for it's time is very impressive however in the looks dept, not so much. I agree with the article, it looks like a 911 with a very tacky aero kit IMO.

I realize Porsche is big on form following function, but the GT1 has a touch of George Barris to it.

and they were just trying to meet the homologation quota. On another note, have you seen the pictures for the convertible Panamera 4 door, oh no . Does Porsche really need a bloated 4 door Chrysler Sebring clone?

I once futzed around with a simple piece of paper and managed to portray a much less lumpy roofline without sacrificing rear passenger headroom. The hardtop version borders on looking like a crossover while being termed a luxury sedan. I have to admit, though, that it, like the Cayman, looks much better in the flesh, which is really what counts. (The Cayman shape has really grown on me to the point that I intend to get one next year.)
