Iconic 1988 Porsche 959 Sport, 1 of 29, Set for a $6.5M Auction
In a stunning display of automotive heritage, RM Sotheby’s Miami auction on February 28 is set to unveil one of Porsche’s most coveted models: the Porsche 959 Sport from 1988. This ultra-rare gem—one of just 29 Sport-spec models produced—boasts a pristine 3,757 miles, elegant Grand Prix White finish, and Grey cloth upholstery, underscoring its status as a collector’s dream.
Celebrated for its pioneering engineering, the 959 series combined cutting-edge features like adjustable suspension and an intelligent all-wheel-drive system, while the Sport variant honed its focus by shedding 220 pounds for a more track-ready performance. Originally owned by former Porsche racing crew chief Werner Funk, the car’s storied journey spans Europe, Switzerland, and Italy before arriving in the United States.
With an estimated value of up to $6.5 million, this remarkable piece not only captures the spirit of Porsche’s innovation but also promises to make waves among automotive aficionados.
