911 at its finest

The Porsche 911 is the exception that proves the rule ‘to all good things comes an end’. This contemporary and luxurious, yet sporty, German sportscar was released in 1963. To this day, they are still being produced in large numbers. Also a range of variants has been developed to offer a tailor-made product range. Although the 911 has been refined over the decades, the basic design – which is recognisable and thus excellently done – has generally remained unchanged. This pragmatic and contemporary approach only Porsche could ever succeed in.

The 911 is the successor to the Porsche 356 and was designed by Ferdinand Porsche - the grandson of Porsche’s founder – and presented at the Frankfurt Auto Show in the autumn of 1963. In 1964, the first models were delivered to customers, and due to its great success, the 911 was soon expanded: a cheaper 912, a faster 911S and the rollbar equipped and extremely safe convertible Targa were released. This Targa was named after a Sicilian race that was year by year won by Porsche.

Initially, this car would be called the Porsche 901, but Peugeot became the headwind as their models were named by a three-digit number with a 0 in the middle. ‘Don’t worry’, said Porsche and they replaced the 0 with a 1. The evergreen Porsche 911 was born. After that, there was still Porsche cars built that were named with a three-digit number with a 0 in the middle, however those were exclusively intended for racing and circuit purposes, not for public roads.

Undoubtedly, the 911 has been modified over the years; as durable a design may be, times change, and cars do too. Porsche has always been prepared for changes and innovation. They gradually increased the engine displacement, the power and the size. The biggest mechanical change was the transition from air cooled engines to water cooled engine. Water cooled engines ensure an evenly cooled engine, which results in uniform combustion, which than results by a lower emission and better fuel economy.

Porsche 911 T

Until 1969, the ‘stripped’ 912 was produced as the entry-level model for the 911. Many people were big fans of the 912 because it offered superb handling characteristics with its lightweight flat-four rear-engine. In 1968, the 911 T was introduced, essentially a counterpart to the 912, equipped with a two-liter flat-six engine that produced 110 horsepower, making it a great tourer.

The original 911 T - with ‘T’ standing for ‘Touring’ to emphasize the truly amazing driving experience - had a relatively short production run, which is exact why they are highly sought after by classic Porsche enthusiasts.
