One of only 31 made in Graphite

The “Bill Gates Porsche”… infamous for being the vehicle that Bill Gates purchased 30 of to crash test in an effort to homologate them for the US.

959 KOMFORT

The Porsche 959. A marvel of Porsche engineering and the stepping stone of all performance Turbo models to come from Porsche. This is one of less than 35 in this specific color of Graphite and after a long search for the right 959, we acquired it. This is a car with no stories, impressive originality on the inside, and a superb refinish on the outside done by the most recognized 959 experts at Canepa.

During its tenure at Canepa, this 959 went through a sympathetic restoration with major mechanical refresh that took over one year to complete.

The vehicle was refinished on the outside, had all suspension components were removed appropriately to upgrade the vehicle to 959SC spec coilovers, complete electrical system refresh, AC update to run R134, upgraded 959SC clutch and flywheel, and refreshed fuel system.

With the original suspension removed and properly packaged, this 959 now wears the Canepa coilovers that helped resolve the issues of the adjustable factory suspension, perfect for driving and great for storage.
