Are you sure about a future model of the 959? I read about every car rag there is and I've never heard of that and my google-fu turned up no results. Got any links?

My dad's a memeber of PCA (porsche club of america) and there is talk about a new 959 supercar being test driven on the autobahn the last few months. Porsche likes to keep all it's new cars under the radar. I'll find the newsletter and post it once I find it.
From what I've heard, the body looks striking like the original 959 body. Some differences though, no vents in the rear bumper for the brake ducks.... different things like that.

They let me test drive a new 997 Carrera S. No credit check either. But of course I had to drive up to the dealership in my M5 while wearing a nice blazer. LOL.

Sweet. I hope it comes to fruition. I'm not a Porsche fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I always did have a soft spot for the 959.

A new 959 would have to be pretty wicked. I wonder where it would slot in relation to the GT2.
We drove a Boxster S and a base Boxster with no credit check either. We were wearing jeans and t-shirts. I think we drove up in a Corolla or a Protege, can't remember.
