Welcome to the forty third in the Gone in 60 Seconds Series
If you are familiar with the movie you will know that there was a list of 50 cars that needed to be boosted (stolen), you do not need to steal any cars to find this cache. To complete the series there will be another 7 caches hidden named after the remaining cars on the list, this is the forty third on the list 1988 Porsche 959 - Virginia
The 1988 Porsche 959 is a mid-engined supercar developed by Porsche from 1986 to 1989. Only 337 units were produced. The twin-turbocharged 959 was the world's fastest street-legal production car when introduced, achieving a top speed of 317 km/h, with some variants even capable of achieving 339 km/h, although this title was swiftly claimed by the Ferrari F40.
It used many high-tech components such as an electronic all-wheel drive system as it was designed to compete in Group B rallying. The road-racing variant of the 959 competed and was successful in the Paris-Dakar Rally as well as in the Le Mans 24 Hour. Car and Driver measured 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds in komfort trim which was nine tenths quicker than any other car they tested in the 1980s. To save weight, air conditioning, central locking, electric window lift, rear seats and the levelling system for the chassis were omitted.
Porsche chose to design and test the 959 to European safety standards only, ignoring USA NHTSA standards when it was already apparent that the exchange rate between the Deutschmark and US Dollar was so unfavourable that Porsche was losing $200,000 on the sale of each 959. Owners of the few 959s that entered the country paid storage fees to keep their 959s in so-called Foreign Trade Zones as the cars weren't permitted in the US proper. Microsoft founder Bill Gates bought a 959 in 1988. Since the model did not have NHTSA and EPA approval, the car was denied entry into the U.S. Fortunately for the car, and it was stored for 13 years by the Customs Service before it was released when the "Show or Display" law came into force, allowing usage of the car limited to 2,500 annual road miles.
Just like stealing cars, stealth must be used at all times.
