A rare 1988 Porsche 959 Sport, one of just 29 ever made, is set to sell for £5.26 million at RM Sotheby’s in Miami. The 211mph supercar remains highly sought after.

A funny-looking Porsche that resembles a saloon is set to sell for a whopping £5.26million.

This 959 Sport auction presents a perfect opportunity for petrolheads to get their hands on an extremely rare motor.

With just 29 cars ever built, the vehicle’s odd appearance creates a spectacle on the road.

This particular Porsche is the 16th instalment in this line of cars.

And the 1988 manufactured car is in exceptional condition for its age.

It is finished in an attractive and eye-catching Grand Prix White over Grey cloth upholstery.

Described as a marvel in 1980s engineering, Porsche prioritised innovation over raw power when building this vehicle.

The vehicle is kitted out with a 2.8 litre, sequential twin-turbocharged, flat-six engine.

And it possesses a hair-raising top speed of 211mph, as reported by Luxury Auto News.

The car will feature at auction in Miami, Florida, US, hosted by RM Sotheby’s on 28 February.

Michael Caimano, car specialist at RM Sotheby’s, said: “The chance to acquire a Porsche 959 Sport is incredibly rare – it’s one of the most sought-after cars among collectors.

“As the more exclusive and faster variant of an already limited-production model, its low production numbers place it in the same league as icons like the Ferrari F40 LM.

“This car was truly built for those who wanted an even more thrilling driving experience, and with just 29 ever produced, it remains one of Porsche’s most coveted and elusive supercars.”
