 1 1988 Porsche 959 When it was introduced, the twin-turbocharged 959 was the world's fastest street-legal production car with a top speed of 314 km/h. During its production run it was hailed as the most technologically advanced road-going sports car ever built and forerunner of all future super cars. It was one of the first high-performance vehicles with all-wheel drive, providing the basis for Porsche's first all-wheel drive Carrera 4 model. Its performance convinced Porsche executives to make all-wheel drive standard on all 911 Turbos starting with the 993 In 2004. |
