Porsche 959
In the ’80s, Porsche introduced one model, a rolling compilation of every technology compatible with the 911. Experience from racing, the latest technology, the 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 was transferred to all four wheels over an intelligent AWD system. This was the first of its kind (via Porsche).
The car was also equipped with traction control, ABS, and a host of electronic systems which helped the driver. Although this is pretty 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.
