I don't understand why, perhaps it's because I'm working in military domain, but I always liked exotic cars with camouflage. One thing is sure, I don't have the guts to do it that on my own personnal car's so it's cool to see some people who do it.

yesterday i searched some pics and information about the legendary 959 in different forums, and found this:

a garage called Canepa Design in Santa Cruz Ca. Bruce Canepa was the "driving" force in getting legislation passed that allows cars like the 959 to be driven legally (with many strings attached) on the roads here in the US.

here are some pictures of the 959 remanufacturing shop. there are about 15 959s there in various states of assembly and disaasembly. I never saw so many 959's on the same pic or place.



The Sultan of Brunei's 959, 1500Km on the clock


Where it all happens










The have a lot more very nice cars in their showroom. You'll find the pics on their homepage: http://www.canepa.com

This beauty for example:

I always thought that you wanted a 993 C4S, now you looking for a 959, damn PzGren do you won the loto recently ?

More seriously, thank you to have carried out this 959 research for us indirectly. It's a whole phenomenon to see so many 959 joined together in only one place. :shock:

As many Porsche fan here, I always liked this mythical 959, in the 80' I had several posters of 959 in my bedroom. My favorite color for a 959 is always red, same as Walter Röhrl own personal 959.

It's a wonder why Clarkson doesn't count it on his car vids, as this car is just incredible, before the McLaren F1, it was said to be the fastest car to get from point A to point B, the technology in the 959 is unbelieveable.

Interesting find. So they're using the 3.6 and not the 3.8 for the GT3.

4.3sec 0-100 isn't bad either. And those seats are fantastic, allmost like the seats in the CGT.

GT3 looks 10/10 for agressiveness - more 996 GT2 than the older GT3 8)
