'86 Porsche 959

The general consensus of many people across the globe when hearing "Porsche" would be in the words of "a luxury or sportscar marque". To a certain extent, that is true - though, if you knew a thing or two about cars and automotive history, you'd know that there is more to that. You'd know about the golden age of Porsche's motorsport history back in the 20th century. And as the car featured in this addon suggests, this is the machine that proved Porsche's competence in not only circuit racing and in the performance oriented side of cars, but in the harsh conditions of rally racing. This is a car that numerous supercar and luxury car marques had attempted to create, but failed in doing so. A hypercar that at one point in time was the fastest street-legal production car (with a top speed of 317km/h), turned into a successful rally machine. A feat that the world had never seen accomplish before, and will probably never see it being accomplished ever again. This, is the 959.

• Car History

"The Porsche 959 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1986 to 1993, first as a Group B rally car and later as a road legal production car designed to satisfy FIA homologation regulations requiring at least 200 units be produced. The twin-turbocharged 959 was the world's fastest street-legal production car when introduced, achieving a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph), with some variants even capable of achieving 339 km/h (211 mph). During its production run, the 959 was considered as the most technologically advanced road-going sports car ever built, and forerunner of all forthcoming sports cars. After the successful introduction of all-wheel drive on more rally-specific cars like the Audi Quattro, it was one of the first pure high-performance sports-cars with all-wheel drive, providing the basis for Porsche's first all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4 model. Its performance convinced Porsche executives to make all-wheel drive standard on all turbocharged versions of the 911 starting with the 993. The twin-turbo system used on the 959 also made its way to future turbocharged Porsche sports cars. In 2004, Sports Car International named the 959 number one on its list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s." - Wikipedia

• How to open the doors

i) Doors

To OPEN the doors, right click the car and the doors will open. Right click again to get in.
To CLOSE the doors, right click WHILE shifting/crouching.

In a nutshell, the concept is basically;

Right click/hold + Shift/crouch = Close doors
Right click ONLY = Open doors and to get in car ... (once the car's doors are open)

I've made a video showing how it's done so if you don't understand words, you can check that video out. The car in the video used is my previous Datsun 240z addon which shouldn't be a problem as the concept (animations, door and hood mechanics and sound effects) are the same for this addon (Porsche 959).
