Porsche 959 'Komfort' - a photo on Flickriver

Porsche 959 'Komfort'

"...Fewer than 300 were built, each costing the automaker well over the substantial 420,000 Deutsche Mark asking price. Yet it was far from a disappointment, and instead set the stage the next quarter-century of supercar development with a variety of technologies that were almost otherworldly at the time. Porsche’s Porsche-Steur-Kupplung (PSK) system allowed the driver to vary the 370 foot-pounds of torque between the rear and front axles, allowing up to 80 percent to the rear under hard acceleration, all managed electronically. The 959’s highly advanced suspension was also race-derived, with double-wishbones at each corner, coil springs and double shocks that could be adjusted by the turn of a knob from the driver’s seat. Both the ride height and shock damping were electronically adjustable, and a full array of instruments kept the driver in touch with everything going on behind and beneath..."
