My goodness ! Canepa Porsche 959S
Discussion
You've got to be brave to mod these!!
Phase I Engine Upgrade
An extensive engineering and development process included a new engine management system and converting the factory sequential turbo system with a Garrett Air Research twin turbo system. Upgraded fuel system, EGR, modern engine management system, F1 technology engine wiring harnesses, high output ignition system, upgraded alternator charge system and battery module, air pumps and air regulator valves, spark plugs, idle control valve, sensors, connectors, harness shielding, switches, adapters, hardware, etc. (369 components in all.) A complete new stainless steel exhaust system with dual stainless Porsche factory catalytics are utilized.
Canepa Design has re-engineered the factory wheels and developed a new bead design and modification which allows the installation of today's state-of-the-art high performance 'Z' rated radial tires. Additional benefits include greatly improved handling and grip and an overall improved appearance.
Additional Canepa Upgrades
* Upgraded suspension incorporating Canepa Design's gas strut design and titanium coil-over springs.
* Modified clutch system to improve pedal feel and actuation. This includes an improved pressure plate, disc, and modified clutch pedal assembly.
* "Werks I" Steering Wheel.
* 220MPH VDO speedometer.
* HID headlamp conversion.
* Custom Canepa Design floor mats.
* Custom fit car cover.
Performance Data
3.2 seconds 0-60 MPH
575 Horsepower — 540 ft/lbs Torque

I first heard about Canepa when Wayne Dempsey bought his 959...
Very well thought out and well engineered, by all accounts..
Suspension and tyre technology has moved on so much since 1985..
Seem to recall them being roughly twice the price of a standard factory car...
He usually knows of a couple for sale if you're interested...
