This We Are Curated video takes viewers inside an exceptionally preserved Porsche 959 Komfort—one of just 337 ever built, with this example showing virtually delivery-level condition. The host gently drives the car while explaining why the 959 was so revolutionary, featuring twin turbocharging, electronically controlled all-wheel drive, self-leveling hydraulic suspension, and early tire-pressure monitoring—technology far ahead of its era.
Originally developed for Group B racing and later proven at the Dakar Rally, the 959 helped redefine what a supercar could be: incredibly fast yet comfortable and usable. The video also highlights former Porsche CEO Peter Schutz’s role in championing the project during a difficult period for the company, even though it ultimately lost Porsche money per car.
Despite early financial struggles, the 959 went on to influence nearly every modern supercar and laid the foundation for Porsche’s future performance models. Today, it’s widely regarded as one of the most important and advanced road cars ever created.
