Porsche 959 is one of the fastest and also most advanced and technologically complex supercars of the `80s. The 959 was a super Porsche in every way, not only by design but also by performance and price. It was a perfect blend of experience from racing, the latest technology, along with turbocharging, everything in one car – the 959 (via Stuttcars).

Introduced in 1987, the 959 had a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine with 450 hp, which was transferred to all four wheels over an intelligent AWD system, the first of its kind for Porsche. The car was also equipped with traction control, ABS, and a host of electronic systems that helped the driver. Although all this is pretty much standard in most new cars today, it was space-age technology in the late `80s. The performance of this technological tour de force was also astonishing. The 0 to 60 mph sprint was possible in just 3.7 seconds.
