The twin-turbo all-wheel-drive Porsche 959 was Porsche's response to the challenge of creating the world's fastest street-legal production car. With an aerodynamically optimized body, a twin-turbo flat-six engine, an electronically controlled chassis, and an all-wheel-drive, the 959 was considered by many to be the most technologically advanced road-going sports car ever built when it hit the market. Of the 337 959s produced in the 1980s, only 29 of them left the factory as 'S' models.
When this particular 959S was shipped to the United States it was delivered to Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, California where the owner spent over $250,000 converting and upgrading the 959 to EPA specs. Upgrades included a Generation 2 575 horsepower engine performance package, wheel, fuel, suspension, and HID Headlight upgrade. The Alegra Collection acquired the car in 2009 and is the third owner since new.
