Any car that goes rallying is cool. From ratty, overcommitted Fiat 126s to full WRC-spec anti-lagalicious works cars, anyone courageous enough to door-handle a car around a forest has our utmost respect. However, once upon a time, there was a car that got a priority lane pass to TG"s Rallying Hall of Fame: the Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar car. And now, for the first time ever, one is up for sale. As a quick refresher, the 959 was produced with one aim: to be the fastest and most technologically advanced Porsche road car ever. First born in 1983, it was primarily a race car. But then made into a homologation special - one of those mystical road cars that only exists so that a manufacturer can qualify to enter their race car in a particular series. The series in question for the 959 was Group B Rallying.
