That is an ugly car!
Saying that, I had a Super Callander on my wall when I was little, the stated 0-60 was 3.7 second which I just could not understand as being possible! The car was way ahead of it's time!

What can you say, with youth comes ignorance
The 959 was way ahead of its time and a member here currently owns one (well his families company does) of the very 1st ones (was owned by the guy who designed the 959

WAY AHEAD of it's time. Most exotics back then were running 0-60 around 6 seconds probably and the 959 was doing it in 3.7!!!!!
Anyone who talks trash on that car doesn't know jack. It is the predecessor for all of the amazing 911 turbos we have now, it is to be praised.

Before I owned or knew anything about porsches there were 6 959's sitting inside of our warehouse (bonded foreign trade zone). I use to look at em and reflect how ugly they were. I was told they were 250K+ at they time but did not believe it.
It was not till a 10 years later when I learned the truth. My buddy who owns a porsche shop never lets me live that one down.
Now that I own a 600hp 993tt I can see the beauty in the 959.

$370,000.00 and then at least 75-100K to federalize it. And at least 6 months till you can drive it. The microsoft boys thought it was a good enough car so they helped pass the law so they could drive them here. Canepa's 959 will probably be less trouble then the F40 I am getting and less to maintain. And will run with it, and they built 1/5 as many of them, **** I should buy that instead. And every body will think I am driving a 911 with a body kit. So nodody will f-with-it.
