A highly sought-after 1987 Porsche 959 Komfort is scheduled to cross the auction block at the Indy 2026 event on Saturday, May 16, drawing attention from collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. As one of only 292 units produced, the vehicle represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark model in Porsche’s history.
Finished in Graphite Metallic with a gray interior, the car remains unrestored and shows just 3,521 miles on the odometer. Its preserved condition reflects limited use and careful ownership, contributing to its significance among vintage performance vehicles.
At the heart of the 959 Komfort is a twin-turbocharged 2.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The combination delivers a driving experience that was considered groundbreaking for its era. The vehicle is also equipped with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, underscoring Porsche’s engineering innovation during the 1980s.
The model includes several premium features that highlight its dual focus on performance and comfort. These include power windows, heated power sport seats, and an integrated alarm system. The car rides on special 17-inch lightweight magnesium wheels, which further enhance its performance capabilities while maintaining a distinctive appearance.
The 959 Komfort was designed as a more refined version of the 959 platform, offering increased usability without sacrificing performance. Its blend of advanced technology and luxury features helped set new benchmarks for supercars of its time.
As it approaches the auction stage, this example stands out not only for its rarity but also for its remarkably low mileage and original condition. Collectors continue to view the Porsche 959 as a pivotal model that helped shape the future of high-performance vehicles, making this upcoming sale a notable moment in the collector car market.
This year marks the 39th Mecum Indy with over 3,000 vehicles for sale and many lots of collectible memorabilia. Visit the website to see fantastic vehicles- MANY AT NO RESERVE!
