7. Porsche 959
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.
Introduced in 1987, the 959 had a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat six engine with 450 hp which were transferred to all four wheels over intelligent AWD system, first of its kind. The car was also equipped with traction control, ABS and a host of electronic systems which helped the driver. Despite the fact that 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.
