A unique Porsche sold by RM Sothebys at the end of October
The youngest do not necessarily know it. But Porsche was once involved in the most famous rally-raid race, Paris Dakar. Today, of course, the cars in question are unique and bear witness to a long-gone history. Just like this Porsche 959 with the number 186, which was engaged on the Paris-Dakar of the year 1985. A car that will be sold soon.
On the occasion of its 70th birthday, Porsche organizes a sale at an exceptional auction on October 27, in Atlanta. A sale which has been entrusted to the well-known RM Sotheby's auction house. During this sale, several exceptional Porsches will be offered to buyers. Needless to say that this sale could reach record amounts.
An estimated price between 2.58 and 2.93 million euros
This Porsche 959 is the very good example. Its price is estimated between 3 and 3.4 million dollars, between 2.58 and 2.93 million euros. In 1985, this Porsche 959, driven by René Metge and his navigator Dominique Lemoyne alongside two other 959, will never see the finish line of the Dakar. It's the following year that Porsche will have more luck, on the highest step of the podium.
Technically, it is a Porsche 959 raised obviously, to face the topography if particular of Paris-Dakar. The car is equipped with a flat-6 3.2 liter engine developing no less than 400 horsepower. A real piece of history for the automaker of Stuttgart, which was finally quite little engaged on the Dakar in comparison with other car brands.
