Porsche history project: Recomissioning a Paris-Dakar 959

17-Feb-23 /Vintage Motorsport/

Porsche’s 959 mastered the grueling Paris-Dakar desert rally from France to West Africa in 1986, finishing 1-2 in the 8700-mile endurance contest.
Now the runnerup Jacky Ickx/Claude Brasseur machine—which finished right behind the identical 959 of winners René Metge and Dominique Lemoyne—is ready to be driven once again. A cmprehensive recommissioning has been carried out over the past few months by the Porsche Heritage and Museum team together with their colleagues from Porsche Classic.
