Depressing the accelerator was guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the 959 driver. The rear-mounted six-cylinder, 2848 ccm engine with water-cooled cylinder heads produced 450 HP thanks to two turbochargers and intercoolers.… ”It reached 100 km/h after just 3.7 seconds” according to the calculations of auto motor und sport and that put -the 959 into a class of its own.
