Development of the car started in 1981. Originally it was supposed to be a test bed for the next generation technologies slated to future road models, in particular the 4WD system for the next generation 911. Coinciding with the introduction of FISA Group B category, Porsche decided to turn the project into a limited production run of 200 cars so that it could take part in GT racing. The first prototype, called simply “Gruppe B”, was shown in the 1983 Frankfurt motor show and excited the crowds, but it took longer time to migrate to running prototypes and pre-production cars, blamed to the difficulties of developing the sophisticated 4WD system as well as Porsche’ insistence to perfectize the car before reaching customer hands. Finally, the first production car was delivered to Wolfgang Porsche, the youngest son of Ferry, in April 1987.

The Porsche 959 was and still is remembered as the most technological advanced car ever built by mankind. It was simply a showcase of technology.
