There are very few cars that make my heart race like this one. I did have the opportunity to see a real one in person and it's a sweet ride. This one, with the mods, sounds like an absolute monster. I'm in for the group buy!

I was offered one for 180,000 six years ago.
I would not buy a pack of gum from Canepa after reading they sold a salvage car as museum quality recently. do a search on here for details....nice inventory but total scum.

Meh, i just dont see it. I could have one helluva porsche collection for the $935K investment.

I get the supercar performer aspect ahead of its time etc etc but styling wise it just doesnt cut it for me personally and the wheels are butt ugly.

Or for $100K you could have the evolved road going version that you could actually get serviced here. See avatar..

If you bought this 959, I would think a big part of the decision was to have this icon in your collection and less about how much it costs or how the tech compares to modern cars. You also get into the argument about older cars that you actually have to drive vs. cars like the new turbo which are plush and easier to drive. Plus, if you can afford $1M for this car, you likely have plenty of more millions where that came from and probably have a large car collection to begin with.
