Default 959 Dakar Rally Car Questions

With the new 911 Dakar coming out, I'm wondering how it compares to the 959 that won the 1986 Dakar Rally. Does anyone know what the ground clearance and tire size is for that car? Also is there a book or website I can read to get more details on the design and specs of that car? I've tried a number of google searches and can't seem to find much more than horse power.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT so I asked it, and it gave me an answer but it couldn't tell me the source of the information it gave me. ChatGPT claims the ground clearance is 220mm or 8.66 Inches and the tire size is 245/85 R16. Based on the photos I've seen of the car those numbers seem reasonable, but it would be nice to know if they are really accurate. From my experience with ChatGPT, it is far more "A" than "I", and it gets a lot of things wrong.

Thanks for the help
