Iconic 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort with Canepa Upgrades Set for Auction.


A rare 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort, enhanced with Canepa "Gen. 3" engine enhancements and "Canepa S" suspension, is slated for auction, offering car enthusiasts and collectors an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of automotive history. This particular model, chassis number WP0ZZZ95ZJS900139, stands out not only for its technological advancements but also for its meticulous upkeep and distinctive Guards Red finish over Dark Grey Metallic leather interior—one of just 29 Komforts originally specified in this eye-catching combination.

Originally delivered in Germany and priced at approximately 430,000 DM (around $225,000 in 1988), the 959 was a bargain for what it cost Porsche to produce, given the extensive engineering and development invested into each car. This vehicle remained in Japan from 1990 until 2015, where it was a part of the burgeoning exotic car scene fueled by the country's economic boom. It accumulated just over 8,000 miles during its time in Japan, reflecting its well-preserved state.
