Porsche 911 (classic)

The original Porsche 911 is a sports car that Porsche AG of Stuttgart made from September 1964 to 1989, after a prototype was shown to the public in autumn 1963. It was rear-engined and air-cooled, its 2.0 litre flat six making 130 PS in the first O series cars, and it was introduced as the Porsche 901 at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show before Peugeot's protest over three-digit names with a zero led Porsche to rename it the 911 for all markets. Butzi Porsche styled it, Erwin Komenda engineered the body and the team of Hans Mezger and Ferdinand Piëch developed the engine. A 911S followed in 1967, with Sportomatic and Targa versions. From the start it was modified for racing and rallying, and the 911-derived 935 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright. A modified version, internally the 964, succeeded it.
