Behold the Porsche 959 Family That Dominated the Dakar Rally

Behold the Porsche 959 Family That Dominated the Dakar Rally By Máté Petrány, The Drive © Provided by The Drive The Dakar Rally has changed a lot since the 1980s, both geographically and in terms of the level of technology campaigned. A lifted Porsche 911 wouldn t win the race in 2021, yet in 1984, that s exactly what happened thanks to René Metge, who was followed by teammate Jacky Ickx in sixth place. After what s internally known as the 953, Porsche used the mule of a 959 with the powertrain of a 911 Carrera 4 in 1985, only to retire all three cars with mechanical problems. For 1986, the Dakar Porsches finally got all the upgrades from the 959 project, including the active four-wheel drive system offering four driving modes adjusted by the computers. This gave Porsche a 1-2 finish, with supporting 959 Dakar engineer Unger Kussmaul crossing the line at sixth. Once the champagne had dried up, Porsche deemed its Dakar program accomplished.
