A very rare Porsche 959 Sport is heading to auction

Porsche had built only 292 units of the 959, with just 29 of them being the Sport version. One of these 29 will be auctioned at the beginning of February in Paris by RM Sotheby’s.

The 959 Sport weighs 100 kilos less than the simple 959, thanks to the removal of the suspension adjustment system, the rear seats, the air conditioning, the electric windows, the central locking and the passenger mirror.

It is equipped with a 2.85-liter bi-turbo engine producing 515 hp, with the power to pass on all the wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, that allows it to accelerate to 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.2 seconds, with its top speed being 339 km/h.
