Jalopnik just posted a very interesting look at the inside of the Porsche 959 factory, way back in the 80's. The 959 was a one of a kind and at the time, seemed the very pinnacle of automotive performance and achievement. By today's standards it's simply a very low production sports car with all wheel drive, with performance easily bested by a number of cars. Back then it was a technological force of nature, and one which was posted on many a child's bedroom wall, along with the Ferrari F40 or maybe the Lamborgini Countach. True legends in their own time. (I'd still take a 959 or an F40...the Lambo? Not so interested thanks...)
Check out the full gallery over at Jalopnik.
