The Porsche 959 represented the extreme development of the 911 concept of the 1980s. As early as 1983, Porsche had announced a car complying with Group B regulations for the world rally championship. Porsche did not follow through on this sporting program but the study of the project continued and gave life to the 959, an extraordinary car that reproduced the lines of the 911 in the passenger compartment, however proposing such a quantity of technological innovations as to leave a permanent trace in the automotive history. Equipped with all-wheel drive, the 959 was powered by a 2849cc 460bhp biturbo engine. There was a racing use of the 959 by the Works: in the raids (obviously the Paris-Dakar) and also at Le Mans, where the car, called 961, was entered in the GTX category (Gran Turismo Sperimentale) in the 1986 and 1987 editions.
