Technical Details and Innovations

The Porsche 959 was equipped with a 2.85-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine that delivered an impressive 450 horsepower. This powertrain allowed the vehicle to achieve a top speed of over 317 km/h (197 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.7 seconds. One of the most groundbreaking features of the Porsche 959 was its all-wheel-drive system, known as "PSK" (Porsche-Steuer-Kupplung), which enabled variable power distribution between the front and rear axles. Additionally, the 959 featured an adjustable suspension that allowed the driver to adjust the ground clearance of the vehicle according to driving conditions. In many ways, this car was ahead of its time and significantly influenced the direction of modern supercars' development.
