When Porsche started producing the 959 as its first ever supercar it was far ahead of its time. Permanent all-wheel drive, hollow magnesium rims with integrated air pressure sensors, an active suspension with different selectable heights, ABS, locked differentials, a register turbocharging system, bodywork made from kevlar-composite \u2013 the list of technical innovations was long and hasn’t been reached by its competitors in many years. All together the 959 was to radical for the Zuffenhausen based company to go through all homologation work for the important US market, so they decided not to sell it there. A decision not very welcomed by US customers who would have liked to see this slightly domesticated Group B weapon in their garages.

Although it wasn’t street legal, some US customers bought the hyper Porsche in Europe or Asia and imported it under ‘Show and Display’ conditions to the USA. If they wanted to not only look at it but drive it as well they had to get creative \u2013 or took the help of Bruce Canepa. He test drove a 959 in 1987, fell in love and started working on the car to get it registered for US roads without losing its drive. Nowadays his company already has more than 30 years of experience with 959s and developed some modifications and power upgrades in that period. With Generation I the power output climbed from 450 PS in works cars to 576 PS, Generation II is good for 640 PS and the newest pack Generation III gives you nearly 800 PS. Now Canepa presents the 959 SC as its most extensive option so far.<\/p>\n\n\n
