A 1988 Porsche 959 SC reimagined by Canepa offers a modern redefinition of Porsche's groundbreaking supercar with 850 horsepower.
The 1988 Porsche 959 SC, meticulously reimagined by Canepa, is now available through Broad Arrow Private Sales, representing a rare fusion of Porsche’s iconic engineering and modern performance innovation. Chassis no. WPOZZZ95ZHS900053 is one of just 266 959 Komforts ever produced and has been transformed into a Canepa 959 SC—a benchmark of precision restoration and state-of-the-art upgrades.
Originally hailed as Porsche’s first supercar, the 959 set technological benchmarks with features like intelligent all-wheel drive, height-adjustable suspension, and composite body construction. However, Canepa’s comprehensive re-engineering elevates the 959 SC to an entirely new level, both mechanically and aesthetically.
Between 2019 and 2023, this 959 underwent over 4,000 hours of restoration and customization at Canepa’s headquarters in Scotts Valley, California. Sporting the “Canepa Stage III” upgrades, its 2.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine now produces an astonishing 850 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque on E85 fuel. Key enhancements include Pankl titanium connecting rods, a MoTec engine management system, and BorgWarner turbochargers, enabling 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 230 mph.
Visually, the car is resplendent in a lightly modified shade of Irish Green—dubbed “Irish Green Plus”—protected by ceramic-coated paint protection film (PPF). The exterior is accented by custom 18-inch gun-metal gray wheels, which were engineered to allow modern tires while retaining the 959's timeless look. Inside, the cabin is wrapped in bespoke tobacco brown leather, with velour carpeting and hand-stitched details extending to custom tool pouches and owner’s manuals.
With only 2,130 miles since its transformation, this Porsche 959 SC represents a pinnacle of automotive engineering, blending vintage rarity with cutting-edge advancements. Limited to just 50 examples worldwide, this reimagined 959 offers an exclusive opportunity for collectors to own a modernized version of Porsche’s most technologically significant supercar.
