959 S at RSS/Stuttgart Performance - Porsche DNA

Hope all is well with everyone, realize that this is the modern day forum section but just wanted to post up and share some of the DNA to our modern turbo Pcars.

RSS & Stuttgart Performance was recently contacted to be a part of a very special event coming up next week that you will all eventually see.

Our rare 959 S was requested to be featured.
Just pulled it out of our showroom and figured I'd take a few images to share before it goes into the trailer.
Here is a little background on our baby:

1988 Porsche 959 S U.S. Sport Model

• Only 229 total production models in 1988
• Only 29 U.S. Sport Models were made for the U.S.
• Our car was the first 959 legally imported into the U.S.
• The engine was rated at 450 HP @ 6500 RPM w/ 370 lb.ft. of torque @ 5,500 RPM
• The engine was recently modified by Bruce Canepa Design in Santa Cruz, CA
• The stock KKK turbo chargers were replaced with larger Garrett ball bearing turbo chargers
• The computer was remapped and the engine now produces 600+ HP
• It also meets all EPA & DOT standards which makes it street legal in all states
• Top Speed 220+ MPH

Enjoy...

Re: 959 S at RSS/Stuttgart Performance - Porsche DNA

Over the years, our 959 S has been featured in many books and publications.
We are very proud to own a piece of Porsche history.



All 29 cars were meant for the U.S. but were returned back to Germany because they didn't meet with DOT approval.

Our car never left the U.S., it originally was placed at an automotive museum not to be driven on U.S. roads.

Here are a few images of the official Porsche Certificate, the car arriving at LAX off Lufthansa Airlines and the car running at Laguna Seca.

More to come...
