Porsche: Porsche 959 turbo, porsche dealer, 911 turbo

Question
Where can I purchase a 959 turbo porsche brand new? Is it legal to drive one in Canada? Why not?  

Answer
The 959 has been out of production for many years now.  Most of the 224 that were built are in private collections or museums.  It would be difficult to purchase one even if money is not an object.  Much of the groundbreaking technology that went into the 959 found it's way into today's 911 turbo.  The new 997 body 911 turbo will be released next fall.  This car will introduce another groundbreaking technology called VTG.  You can read more about it at germancarfans.com.  If I had $125,000 dollars to spend on a car, that would be the car.  Your local Porsche dealer will take a deposit to secure a production slot for you.
