Kids still put posters of this car up in their dorm rooms. I can think of no greater honor for a car, or proof of it's greatness.
That rally version was a monster. From the days of unlimited HP rally cars. They ended up having to ban them because to many were getting wrapped around trees.

I was heading for dinner with wifey to Roys at The Inn at Spanish Bay when the red one popped out and drove down 17 mile drive. For a 20 year old car it is truly impressive.

Reminds me of the day I was at Zufenhausen and saw (and photographed) roughly 10% of the 959 production sitting around Werk I and II one day in the 1980s...
