Porsche 959 Women’s garment dye cropped tee
When the Porsche 959 arrived in 1986, it was simply the most advanced car ever built. Its twin-turbocharged 2.85-litre flat-six produced 450bhp — extraordinary for the era — but the engine was almost secondary to what surrounded it. The 959 featured the world’s first sophisticated all-wheel drive system, with a computer controlling torque distribution between axles in real time. It had hollow-spoke magnesium alloy wheels with built-in tyre pressure sensors. It had adjustable ride height, variable damping, and a six-speed gearbox. In 1986. Technology that the rest of the industry would spend the next decade trying to catch up with. Porsche sold each one at a loss because the engineering cost so much to develop, and yet they built it anyway — because they wanted to know if they could. The 959 won the Paris-Dakar Rally outright in 1986, then went on to demonstrate that the future of the supercar would be defined not by raw power alone but by intelligent engineering. Bill Gates bought one. So did Steve Jobs. Both were banned from importing them to the US until the Show or Display rule was created specifically to let them in. This tee is for women who understand that the most powerful statement you can make is to be ten years ahead of everyone else.
A boxy, oversized-sleeve cropped tee with a soft heavyweight feel and a lived-in character from the very first wear. The garment-dyed finish creates rich, subtle colour variation — every piece quietly its own, just like the 959 that redefined what a car could be.
