1. Porsche 959
And here we are at the end of our Ten Cars of the 1980s You Still Want to Drive list, closing it with the Porsche 959!
The 969 was manufactured by Porsche from 1986 to 1989, first as a Group B rally car and later as a legal production car.
It was hailed as the most technologically advanced road-going sports car ever built, and forerunner of all future super cars.
And it was the world’s fastest street-legal production car when if was first introduced, capable of reaching a top speed of 195 miles per hour (314 km/h).
The guys from Sports Car International named the Porsche 959 number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.
Porsche 959 was one of the first high-performance vehicles with all-wheel drive, which set the basis for Porsche’s first all-wheel drive Carrera 4 model.
