Over the course of 30 years Canepa developed numerous upgrades, yielding increased horsepower and torque, better handling and comfort, improved driveability and reliability, and overall safety. Today, the final evolution of that journey is here: Canepas 959 SC, the Porsche 959, reimagined. A Canepa 959SC starts with an original Porsche 959, including its 2.85-liter air and water cooled engine, 6-speed manual transmission, advanced all wheel drive, Kevlar composite body panels, and more. The car is then meticulously disassembled where every part is cataloged for either restoration, replaced, or upgrading in the process. During this 959SC commission process over 3,500 parts are touched on the vehicle and over 4,000 hours are spent on bringing the car up to new state of the art specification. This example is especially unique with bespoke design elements, being Bruce Canepas 1st personal Porsche 959 SC, and was the development car for future upgrades, becoming chassis #01. Over the past 30 years Canepa has experience with the Porsche 959 drivetrain, suspension systems, and mechanical systems overall. This experience with the 959 platform has allowed Canepa to pinpoint areas that could be upgraded, optimized, and sometimes simply replaced with improved technology. Each 959SC build includes a full engine rebuild using the finest components that have been optimized for performance and longevity. Pankl titanium connecting rods replace the originals, new CPI pistons are installed, the valvetrain is upgraded, an upgraded fuel system and new injectors are added along with coil-on-pack ignition for more power and better control are employed. The sequential turbo system is eliminated and contemporary Borg Warner turbos are introduced, boosting power and torque, reliably, to 850 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque on pump gas. A state of the art engine management system and wiring harness utilizing Canepa proprietary firmware co-developed with MoTec allows for better overall driveability, data logging, and increased performance. Other engine-related mechanical enhancements include upgraded camshaft housings with low friction bearings, E85/flex fuel calibration with auto-fuel calibration, upgraded high output alternator and lightweight gear-driven starter motor, bespoke equal-length tungsten ceramic coated headers with a two-stage titanium exhaust system with titanium heat shielding, and a proprietary green air filter system. The legendary drivetrain of the 959, with its advanced all wheel drive system, has also been upgraded. A full transmission rebuild is done for every car, with REM isotropic super finishing on gears and shafts for increased durability and reduction in friction. Race-proven transmission reinforcement is added for incre
