1985 Porsche 959 Paris-Dakar

rmsothebys.com

If you know your 959 history, you'll realize that this race car actually predates the street car. Porsche developed these Paris-Dakar 959s as a testbed for the road car, so really, you can think of this as more of a prototype. It wears the body panels from the 959, and is equipped with its advanced four-wheel drive system, but it has a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter flat-six from a 911 Carrera instead of a twin-turbo 2.85-liter.
