As a racer, the 959 was mighty effective. Though developed for Group B rallying, the 959 would see more action in the Paris-Dakar than the WRC, winning the 1986 event outright. Test mules dressed as 911s would win the 1984 event, too, with the all-wheel drive running gear making its way over the 959 two years later. On the black stuff, the 961 racked up a class win at the 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans and wasn’t a mile off the pace of the Group C prototypes.
