The B59 Story…

Porsche Carrera GTS B59

If you have 13 minutes to spare why not check out this video on the B59.
For anyone that’s not a Porsche fan, the B59 might sound like a World War II bomber, but in actual fact it’s a limited edition Porsche 911 and when I say limited edition, this car truly is, with only five of these bombshells ever to leave the factory.
It was in 2011 when Brumos Porsche announced the creation of five rare, factory-built 911 Carrera GTS B59 Edition coupes built in honor of racing legend Hurley Haywood’s amazing overall Daytona 24 Hour victory record. At the time, Haywood was the only racer to achieve five overall wins.

“In creating the 911 Carrera GTS B59 Editions, we honored the close working relationship Brumos has enjoyed with the factory over the years,” explains Ray Shaffer, Brumos Porsche general manager. “The late Peter Gregg often ordered unique street and race cars for himself through his factory connections and we wanted to revive that same spirit for a new generation.”
