Porsche 959

Of all the Porsche's I ever carspotted, this is is the rarest of the rare. The Porsche 959 was not street legal in the U.S. before 1999, even though it was last made in 1993. It was probably the safest car Porsche ever built to that point, but they refused to crash-test one due to it's rarity and expense. Porsche built eight 959s assembled from spare parts from the inventory at the manufacturing site. All eight were 'Komfort'-versions: four in red and four in silver. These cars were much more expensive than the earlier ones and are by far the most sought-after 959s. The later cars also featured a newly developed speed-sensitive damper system. The cars were sold to selected collectors after being driven by works personnel. I believe, is one of those cars.
