Porsche 959

Although it seems as if only 3 black 959 went into production, one has recently come up for auction.

When the 959 was released in 1987, it was the era of the Porsche 930. The line of this front fender can also be understood to have been adopted by the 993 even before the 964 was conceived.

Rather than following the subsequent 911 design back then with the release of 959, could the design source of the next 993 be said to come from the 959, since the design of 964 had already been completed?

Incidentally, the local price at that time was 420,000 Deutsche Mark (approx. 33,300,000 JPY) with 283 units eventually manufactured.c​ ​
