Less than 350 examples of the German marque's 1980s supercar were ever built.
The 959 was in production from the 1986 to 1993. Over that time, just 345 examples were produced—not because of lack of interest, but because of the $225,000 sticker price—making it one of the rarest series production Porsches. Just 29 of these were 959 S variants, which was the enhanced “Sport” version—basically a stripped-down customer race car—meant for the US market. The run alsoof the “standard” 959 and three of the 959 S, of which this is one.
This particular prototype, dubbed the F9, is finished in black and was given to Vasek Polak by Porsche as a thank you for his role in the development of the car, according to the sales listing. The marque’s one condition was that it never be driven. Porsche was so intent on this they didn’t include keys with the vehicle. Thankfully, the car has since been recommissioned—with its engine, fuel system, master cylinder, clutch and brakes all fully rebuilt.
