Porsche 959
The Porsche 959 was a Group B rally project turned technological masterpiece, setting the template for the all-wheel drive supercar. It's a blue-chip collectible with a proven seven-figure market value, representing a pivotal moment in automotive engineering.
Porsche 959 sold for a median of $2,907,500 over the last 12 months, based on 6 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $2,617,500 and $4,866,250. 4 currently for sale.
Originally developed to meet Group B rally homologation rules, the Porsche 959 was a technological statement. It featured a 444 hp twin-turbocharged flat-six, an advanced all-wheel drive system, and an aerodynamic Kevlar and aluminum body. With Group B's demise, Porsche sold the 292 production cars to a select group of customers, instantly creating a legend.
The 959's combination of world-beating performance, advanced technology, and extreme rarity makes it a holy grail for collectors. It was the fastest production car in the world at its launch, capable of 197 mph. Its technical DNA, derived from Porsche's 956/962 racing program, influenced the brand's road cars for decades, particularly the 911 Turbo.
The market for the 959 is mature, with values firmly in the seven-figure range. Prices are driven by provenance, mileage, and specification ('Komfort' vs. the rarer 'Sport' model). It's a blue-chip asset that has proven to be a stable store of value, trading among the world's most serious car collectors.
Buying Tips
Scrutinize the service history. The complex hydraulic and turbo systems require specialist maintenance, and deferred work can lead to six-figure bills. Look for records from renowned experts like Canepa.
Understand the 'Komfort' vs 'Sport' specifications. Most are 'Komfort' models with A/C and adjustable suspension. The lighter, stripped-down 'Sport' version is rarer and often commands a premium.
Check the car's federalization history. As the 959 wasn't officially sold in the U.S., most were imported under the 'Show or Display' rule. A clean importation and conversion history is crucial for value and legality.
Inspect the tires and wheels. The 959 used unique Bridgestone run-flat tires that are no longer made. Check what modern alternative is fitted and the condition of the hollow-spoke magnesium wheels.
Recent sales of 1987-1988 models have ranged from approximately $1,250,000 to over $2,100,000.
