Re: 997 Turbo vs. 959 - European Car Magazine



This picture... it's... it's breathtaking. That 959 still manages to look so taut and purposeful. That stark white paintjob with the black detailing, it looks like a Storm Trooper. If Vader had a supercar it'd be...

Two of my all time favourites together in one shot. I'm decidely pleased so thanks Dom!

The 959 is such a pinnacle car for its time - it really ruffled the feathers at Maranello forcing the creation of the F40 - and surely is only eclipsed by the Macca F1 and Veyron in its significance in the pursuit of higher performance. Ok... perhaps the Carrera GT is also up there (in a different kind of way) as a result of its ability to carve through any corner.

Nonetheless, the 959 is a truly special beast and easily the most collectable of all 911s.

Can't wait to read the review.
