Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany in 1963 as the successor to its first ‘356’ sports car, the Porsche 911 continues to this day. Revealed as the ‘901’ at the motor show, the name was changed to 911 (while the model number remained 901) when it was commercialized in 1964 as the 3-digit number with a zero in the middle was registered by Peugeot. As they say, the rest is history. While the coupe-style body was inherited from the 356, the 911 added practicality with a small rear seat, making it a 2 + 2 seater.

Using the same basic engine layout with air-cooled horizontally opposed rear mounted engine, the displacement was increased from a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder OHV to a 2-liter 6-cylinder SOHC (only the initial version included the 4-cyclinder OHV). The transmission was also enhanced from 4-speed to 5-speed delivering top speeds over 200km/h, on par with other European sports cars. Porsche’s annual performance improvement system resulted in six changes until the 930 model in 1974 (NA continued until 901 model in 1977). By refining the chassis and increasing displacement to elevate performance, the 911 established itself as one of the most iconic sports cars in the world.
