Porsche 959Limited Edition Print of the Group B Porsche 959 |
Cliff has chosen a ground level
angle to show off the organic shape of the Group B Porsche 959. The background, created with crayon and
pastel, is picked up in the reflections on the ground to increase the three dimensional feel of the image!

The Porsche 959 was built as a sports car first as a Group B rally car and later as a legal production car
designed to satisfy FIA homologation regulations requiring that a minimum number of 200 street legal units
be built. The 959 is the ultimate evolution of the Porsche 911 family form.
A reinforced centre-section with longitudinal side members formed a rigid safety cell. There was, in addition, an
integral roll cage. Also new was variable four-wheel drive and race-derived suspension, endowing the 959
with immense performance and a top speed of 197mph.
