Product: 1/24 Porsche 959
The Porsche 959 was first unveiled at the 1983 Frankfurt auto show as a
study for a full time 4 wheel drive Group B super sports car. Back then,
the automobile was still far from being completed and its potential a
mystery. The 959's awesome capabilities matured through thorough
research and competition experience with the automobile. It demonstrated
its outstanding abilities during the grueling Paris-Dakar Rally, and the Le Mans 24 hour endurance race.
Porsche has taken their race car technology and put it into the 959, to
produce a car that provides every comfort, with smooth running and the
low interior noise expected of a road car, while offering high safety
reserves. Thus the 959, despite its massive 450hp engine power, can be
drive easily at its lower RPM ranges. The 2848cc engine is a descendent
of the famous 956 and 962 Porsche Group C racer. It is an air/liquid
cooled, flat 6 cylinder, DOHC equipped with two turbochargers, providing
a top speed of more than 300km/h. The 959 maintains superb acceleration
under all driving conditions, yet it also achieves short braking
distances that prove to be a reassuring factor for all classes of
drivers. The hollow wheel spokes increase air volume to the brakes and
accommodate the fat, low profile Dunlop Denloc tires, and is equipped with a pressure sensor to detect punctures.
The Porsche 959 is the car that raised the standard of sports car
thinking to a new plateau, by exceeding every known yardstick of handling and performance.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
