The sports car is valued at a minimum of 1.1 million dollars — at auction its price could reach 1.3 million dollars. The production run of the 959 model totaled 292 units, and this particular car has serial number 36. The vehicle was produced in October 1987 and was purchased at that time by a buyer from Germany. Subsequently, the coupe changed several owners, and the last one, a British collector, invested at least 30 thousand dollars in its maintenance.
The Porsche 959 is equipped with a 2.8-liter twin-turbo "six" producing 450 horsepower. The gearbox is a five-speed manual. The coupe weighs 1540 kilograms, partly due to the extensive use of lightweight materials (aluminum, aramid, Kevlar). The all-wheel-drive sports car accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The top speed is 317 kilometers per hour.
In April 2016, the only convertible Porsche 959 of its kind was put up for sale on the Classic Trader classifieds website. The price of the car was not specified; in the late 1990s, it was valued at three million German marks (about 1.5 million euros at current prices).
