The Porsche 911 is a sports car from Porsche and the successor to the Porsche 356 . The Porsche 911 , known for short as the “nine eleven”, or just the “ 911”, is the Stuttgart company's best-known vehicle and is the epitome of the brand .
Porsche presented the later so-called "original model" in September 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt am Main under its internal development number as the Porsche 901 . However, the name had to be changed shortly after the start of sales in November 1964, as Peugeot had secured the rights to all three-digit numbers with the "0" in the middle as the name for its car models.
Master model

The 911 was a major development step compared to the 356 model. This applies to the entire vehicle construction and in particular to the engine. Before the start of the 911 series production in September 1964, 13 prototypes were still built as Porsche 901s. The price was initially 21,900 German marks , which, adjusted for inflation, corresponds to 44,500 euros in today's currency.
body
Overall, the car was larger and more spacious inside than its predecessor 356. The larger window areas provided better all-round visibility, which contributed to greater road safety. The approximately 11 cm larger wheelbase improved driving comfort. The volume of the trunk at the front also increased .
It is said that for the design of the body , Ferdinand Alexander Porsche had, among other things, the requirement to be able to accommodate at least one set of golf clubs in the trunk, as typical Porsche customers missed something like that in the 356. The main criterion for the body, however, was high recognition as a Porsche and a similarity to the previous model. The rear engine (behind the rear axle) was also a fixed criterion that was included in the body developer's specifications.
Together with Erwin Komenda , who already had a significant influence on the development of the Porsche 356, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designed the shape of the 911, which is characteristic of the car to this day. The "original model" presented in 1963 was built until mid-1973 with different engine outputs (T, L, E and S) and equipment, initially only as a coupé and, from model year (MY) 1967, also as an open version ( Targa ). A convertible was only available in the "G model" from mid-1982 .
engine
The concept of the air-cooled boxer engine as a rear engine remained, but the four-cylinder with 1.6 liter displacement of the previous model was replaced by a newly designed two-liter six-cylinder engine.
The reason for the increase in the number of cylinders and displacement was, on the one hand, that the 356 series engine, which was still based on the engine of the VW Beetle , with a maximum output of 95 hp (70 kW) could no longer be further developed with economically justifiable effort and, on the other hand, the fact that a six-cylinder engine is smoother and more comfortable.
Power and displacement grew steadily, so that the technical data in the following paragraph only applies to the 911/911 L models built until mid-1969:
The output of the new drive was 96 kW (130 hp) at a speed of 6100 rpm. Two Solex triple carburettors generated the fuel-air mixture . A dry sump lubrication with an oil cooler on the engine (later also an additional cooler in the front right fender) was used for the lubrication and internal cooling of the engine. The large axial fan for the cooling air immediately caught the eye in the engine compartment. Together with the 13 901 prototypes, a total of 230 911 type cars were produced in the first model year 1965 (from September 1964).
From model year 1967, the top model was the 911 S ( Super ) with a higher-compression 160 hp carburettor engine. The 911 with a 130 hp engine was given the name 911 L ( luxury ) in the 1968 model year ; at the same time, the 911 T ( Touring ) with a 110 hp engine and four-speed transmission (otherwise five gears) was available as a comparatively inexpensive entry-level model. From model year 1969 the 911 L with carburettor engine was replaced by the 911 E with 103 kW (140 hp) output and mechanical intake manifold injection , which was also used in the now 125 kW (170 hp) 911 S.
In the course of the facelift, the displacement was increased in model year 1970 to initially 2.2 liters and from model year 1972 to 2.4 liters with a corresponding increase in performance. The 1973 Carrera RS has a 2.7 liter engine.
The engine of the 911 T with 81 kW (110 PS) was also used in the VW-Porsche 914/6 from 1969 to 1972 .
landing gear
The front wheels were in damper struts and wishbones with torsion bar springs suspended the rear wheels on trailing arms . Torsion bars and telescopic shock absorbers were also installed on the rear axle. Hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels, steered with a rack and pinion steering, were used for deceleration. In 1966, 22 kg of ballast in the form of two cast iron blocks were installed behind the front bumper to improve the car's handling. In 1968, Porsche lengthened the wheelbase by 57 mm with longer arms, adapted the wheel cutouts and the ballast was eliminated.
inner space
The dashboard was redesigned compared to that of the 356 and adapted to the taste of the 1960s. The ignition lock, however, remained to the left of the steering column.
The position of the ignition key came from racing, when the racing cars were parked next to the racetrack at the start and the drivers first had to walk to their vehicles and then start them. Since a key positioned to the left of the steering wheel can be operated more quickly when getting into the car, many racing cars were equipped in this way to save time.
The arrangement of the five instruments was retained up to the model 993 : to the left of the large tachometer installed in the center, the instrument cluster for tank content / oil level and oil temperature / oil pressure, and to the right, the speedometer and analog clock.
The Carrera RS 2.7

The 911 Carrera with a 2.7 liter engine, built in the 1973 model year (F series), occupies a special position among the original models.
The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 , presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris in October 1972 , was named after the Carrera Panamericana like earlier racing models and planned as a small series of originally 500 vehicles in order to obtain homologation for racing. Outwardly, the car differed from the other 911s by its front and rear flared fenders, which were characteristic of all later Carrera models. The special front spoiler had an opening in the middle for the oil cooler. The rear was adorned for the first time by a spoiler, which was called duck's tail because of its shape .
The car was fitted with the so-called 15 inch Fuchs rims as standard and Porsche used different tire sizes on the front and rear axles on the model: Front: 185/70 VR 15; Rear 215/60 VR 15. As with the 911 S, the plastic tank was 85 liters in size.
The engine, equipped with a mechanical double-row injection pump, has a displacement of 2.7 liters and develops 154 kW (210 hp) at 6300 rpm. Various parts of the car are made of lightweight construction (front hood made of thin sheet metal, engine cover made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic), so that it weighs only around 975 kg in the sports version and around 1075 kg in the touring version.
The interior equipment differs between the two models: the RS-Touring, which is available for an extra charge, has the standard equipment of the 911 S, while the RS-Sport has a Recaro bucket seat for the driver and the rear seats are missing. Furthermore, the clock, the passenger sun visor, door armrests and storage boxes are missing. Instead of a carpet, the footwell is covered with rubber mats. There are other differences in the body: the rear side windows, which can otherwise be opened, are fixed in the RS-Sport, the moldings are made of PVC instead of rubber, the Porsche crest is a simple sticker, etc. As a spare wheel - which is missing in the RS-Sport - is in the RS-Touring is the first 911 to have a weight-saving folding tire with a corresponding compressor on board.
There are also slight differences in the electrical system. The RS-Sport, for example, has only one 36 Ah battery (RS Touring: two batteries with 36 Ah each) and a bass horn instead of a two-tone fanfare. There are also differences in the chassis, suspension, etc.
For those who were unable to acquire one of the “original” Carrera RS 2.7 models in 1972/73, the G-model with the same 210 hp engine as the 911 Carrera was offered until mid-1975 . These 911s were also only available in small numbers (Coupé: 1534 Targa: 610). Today, like the Carrera RS 2.7, they are sought-after collector's items.
G model
The first major overhaul of the 911 body was made necessary by a regulation issued by the US Driving Safety Authority ( NHTSA ) in 1972 . The "Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act" required that all new vehicles should not damage the vehicle if the bumper hit an obstacle up to a speed of 5 mph = 8 km / h. To meet this requirement, the 911s were provided with redesigned bumpers that were equipped with integrated elastic impact absorbers for the US market. In all vehicles that were not intended for export to the USA, cheaper impact pipes were used, which, however, deformed when parking bumps and therefore had to be replaced. The impact absorbers could be ordered as an extra.
Inside Porsche, each model year of the 911 is designated with a letter. The count began in mid-1967 with the 1968 model year as the A series and ended with the 1979 model year; the M series (letter I was not assigned). The models from 1980 onwards are referred to as the program : Model year (MY) 1980 as A-program up to MY. 2000, the Y program. The letters I, O, U and Q were not used. Mj. 2001 is the 1 program, Mj. 2002 the 2 program etc. From model year 2010 (A program) the alphabet will be used again.
The G-model (correct: the G-series) appeared in mid-1973 (model year 1974) and the 911 was produced with this body for 16 years until mid-1989 (end of the K-program). Although, strictly speaking, only the 1974 model year may be referred to as the "G-Model", all 911 models from 1973 to 1989 are generally called that. With the K program from mid-1988, production of the successor model Porsche 964 started at the same time .
body
The main difference between the original model and the G-model are the large bumpers of the newer 911 - these are more massive. Above all, the fold-like plastic transitions between the bumpers and the body have earned the model the nickname “Bellows Porsche”.
The front indicators were moved from the fender corners to the bumper. At the rear, a continuous red reflective tape with the inscription "Porsche" has been added between the taillights. Sportier models, such as B. the Carrera or the Turbo, have more outwardly flared fenders at the front and especially at the rear to accommodate wider wheels. Other differences in the body to the original model, such as B. the enlarged wheelbase, are visually barely noticeable.
The car was initially offered in the equipment variants 911, S and Carrera. The new 911 Turbo was delivered with a wider body from the beginning of 1975 (H series) . The 3-liter turbocharged engine of the fastest German production car has an output of 260 hp and enables a top speed of 250 km / h. From model year 1978 onwards, with an intercooler and a 3.3 liter displacement, it is even 300 hp for a top speed of 260 km / h.
From the 1976 model year, Porsche used a body that was hot-dip galvanized on both sides. Porsche was therefore able to offer a six-year guarantee against rusting through, which was extended to seven years for the 1981 model year, and later to ten years.
The 911 G model was initially only available as a Coupé and Targa . The safety laws in preparation in the USA, which would have prevented convertibles from being registered in the US, were finally rejected at the beginning of the 1980s . After a break of almost 20 years, Porsche therefore presented an open car again in March 1982 at the Geneva Motor Show with the 911 SC Cabriolet . Of the 4277 SC convertibles built in the first model year 1983, over 40% (1877 vehicles) went to the USA. The 911 Speedster with emergency roof, presented as a study at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1987, was built as a small series of 2102 times in the 1989 model year.

engine
From 1974 onwards, all 911 engines had a displacement of at least 2.7 liters. The 911 T with its two triple carburetors was omitted. The output of the entry-level 911 model was 110 kW (150 hp); the 911 S had 129 kW (175 hp).
In the previous model year 1973, the 911s destined for US export were the first cars in the world to receive the simpler K-Jetronic instead of the complex mechanical 6-fold injection pump , which also ensured lower emissions and fuel consumption. Bosch had developed the system in close cooperation with Porsche from 1970 onwards. In the 1974 model year, all 911s (except the Carrera) were equipped with the K-Jetronic.
In the 911 Carrera , the “RS” engine with a mechanical double-row injection pump, which achieved an output of 154 kW (210 hp), was installed for two years. Thanks to the low number of units (Coupé: 1534; Targa: 610), these Carrera G models, like the Carrera RS 2.7 of the original model, are sought-after collector's items.
The engine range from model years 1978 (L series) to 1983 (D program) consisted only of the 3-liter naturally aspirated engines with 180 to 204 hp in the 911 SC Coupé and Targa as well as the 3.3-liter engine in the 300 hp 911 Turbo (Coupé only).
Stricter emissions legislation in the main sales markets of the USA, Japan and Europe meant that Porsche, in conjunction with the introduction of catalytic converter technology for the E program starting in mid-1983, increased the displacement to 3.2 liters and the K-Jetronic with the electronic injection and ignition system Motronic (DME) with overrun cut-off from Bosch replaced. Only the first 911 Turbo, built from 1974 (see Porsche 930 ), was equipped with the K-Jetronic until the end of production in 1989. The increase in displacement increased the engine output from 150 kW (204 hp) to 170 kW (231 hp); at the same time, consumption was lower thanks to the use of the DME.
The new 3.2-liter engines of the now "Carrera" 911s of the 1984 model year were fitted with a hydraulic chain tensioner that was connected to the engine's oil circuit. A lower compression ratio (9.5: 1) with 153 kW (207 hp) was planned for the US and Japanese markets. The model with a regulated catalytic converter and lambda probe, which was standard equipment in Germany from mid-1984 (F program) and standard equipment in Switzerland and Austria, was designed for unleaded premium gasoline ( Eurosuper ) with an octane rating of 95 and initially also developed 153 kW (207 hp), later 160 kW (217 PS).
A special feature is the Porsche 911 Turbo, whose engine provides 191 kW (260 hp) from a 3-liter displacement using a turbocharger . From 1978 onwards, by increasing the displacement to 3.3 liters and adding an additional intercooler, the output was increased to 221 kW (300 hp), which the turbo model had until the end of production in 1989. From mid-1983 the car was no longer available in the USA because of the stricter emissions regulations there.
inner space
The interior has only been revised in a few details and does not differ that much from that of the original model.
In general, more emphasis was placed on driving comfort in the G-Model, which is reflected in the seating and the additional electrical equipment features. The electrically adjustable seats have optional heating. It was also possible to order electric window lifters, an electric sliding roof and an electrically operated convertible top.
These many helpers ensured that switches were housed in various places in the cockpit of the 911, which are not very ergonomic by today's standards. This shortcoming was only remedied in the successor models 964 and 993 .
Special models
A few special models of the Porsche 911 G-Model were produced, which stand out from the series models due to their particularly extensive and in some cases unique equipment.
Anniversary model 1975: "25 years of driving in its most beautiful form"
From autumn 1974 (model year 1975) there was a special model in silver with extensive equipment for the 25th anniversary of Porsche production in Stuttgart. A total of 400 vehicles of the special series were produced, 16 of them as Carrera Targa. In addition to the eye-catching interior, the vehicles were equipped with a badge on the glove compartment lid. In addition to the slogan “25 years of driving in its most beautiful form”, the serial number of the special series, the name of the customer and the signature of Ferry Porsche were also shown.
In Germany, the narrow coupé, the "S" version and some 2.7-liter Carrera were built. The same applies to the "Targa". In addition to the European version, 500 units were also produced for the US market. Here, however, there is only the narrow version of the coupe with the 2.7-liter engine and 121 kW (165 hp) output. The matt black anodized parts, standard on the Carrera, were also used in the special model to underline the sporty appearance.
In all models, the limited special model was identified by the badge on the glove compartment lid. In the US market with the slogan: "25 Years of Driving in its purest Form". On the American market, the headlight cleaning system with its eye-catching spray nozzles that was built into the German model was dispensed with. The less popular ATS rims (called "chopping knives" or cookie cutters) were painted in the German version in magnesium and a special darker silver tone - front and rear in size 6Jx15. The versions of the Carrera with the 2.7 RS engine and 154 kW (210 hp) had Fuchs rims in the front 6Jx15 and rear in 7Jx15 as standard .
Anniversary model 1981: "50 Years of Porsche"
In the Porsche Press Information (No. 21/81) it says: For its 50th company anniversary, the smallest German automobile factory is presenting three exclusively equipped special models in limited numbers: only 600 Porsche 924 in tin metallic, 200 Porsche 911 SC in meteor metallic and 140 Porsche 928 S, also in meteor metallic, are offered in the Federal Republic. What they all have in common is the elaborate equipment, which is otherwise not even available on special request, and a striking signature: the headrests of the anniversary Porsche are adorned with the embroidered lettering “F. Porsche ".
The 911 has the series engine of the SC model with 150 kW (204 hp) at 5900 rpm in the rear. However, the car is painted in the special color Meteor Metallic. This color could only be ordered as an option in the 1984 model year. The interior had a leather / fabric combination (M410) in wine red. Seat center strips in front and back in red / silver fabric. Door panels, rear side paneling and rear wall made of red / silver fabric. There is also the classic 3-spoke leather steering wheel, which was first installed in series in 1973 in the 2.7 Carrera in the wine red version. Headlining also in wine red as well as the deep-pile carpet.
This special model also has the following equipment details as standard: electric exterior mirror right (M261), center console wine red (M590), rear window wiper (M425), electric antenna (M461), loudspeakers, interference suppression, green heat-insulating glass (M443) and the forged LM rims at the front 7Jx15, rear 8Jx15, star painted black with tires in front 185/70 VR 15 and rear 215/60 VR 15. These Fuchsfelgen are one of the features by which the special model can be identified from the outside. The model code for the 50th anniversary model from model year 1982 (chassis number "CS") is M403.

Anniversary model 1987 "250,000 Porsche 911s produced"
In the summer of 1987 for the 1988 model year, an anniversary model of the 911 Carrera, limited to 875 units, was released on the occasion of the 250,000th Porsche 911 produced. These vehicles were offered in coupé, targa and convertible body styles.
The vehicle could be ordered with the 3.2 liter engine with or without a catalytic converter. Without a catalytic converter, the engine delivers 170 kW (231 hp) and with a catalytic converter 160 kW (217 hp) at 5900 rpm. The vehicles have a special paint finish in the color diamond blue metallic, with which the standard 15-inch Fuchs rims were also painted. The interior is in the color silver-blue metallic. The headrests of the driver and front passenger seats have an embroidered lettering "F. Porsche ". The standard equipment also included a shortened gearshift, the omission of the “Carrera” lettering on the tailgate and silver-colored long velor carpet in the trunk. There is a round badge on the glove compartment with the inscription "250,000 911 Anniversary - Special Series 1987". For vehicles for the US market, the year 1987 on the badge was replaced by MY88 (model year 88). (This is only verified by a prospectus, whether this plaque was really minted with MY88 is unknown). The chassis numbers are the first of model year 88, as these anniversary models therefore all rolled off the production line after the 1987 summer break (the last digits of the chassis numbers for these models range from 0061 to over 0600, depending on the model). In the Porsche PET this model is referred to as JUBI88.
Anniversary model 1988/89: "25 years of the Porsche 911"
From summer 1988 (model year 89) a special model series was offered for the 25th anniversary of the 911. These are very richly equipped cars with the model codes M 097 (Germany), M 098 (USA) and M 099 (other countries). Each of these models had its own color scheme and interior design inside and out.
The car for Germany in dark blue had a full leather interior with pearl gray carpeting. The US version was painted silver metallic and equipped with a silk gray carpet and also in full leather. 60 of the cars delivered in the USA were also delivered in a special black metallic paintwork. All other vehicles sold in the world were painted in blue metallic and had a matching interior (leather in blue metallic and carpet in silver blue) like the special model "250,000 911" from 1987.
What they all had in common was a special, continuous center console. As can be seen in the contemporary Porsche brochure, there is also a badge on the glove compartment of this anniversary model. In contrast to the anniversary model, “250,000 Porsche 911s produced”, no lettering was embroidered on the headrests of the seats.
Technical data of the original 911
The 911 Coupé was produced with this internal Porsche name until 1973, and from 1966 also as a convertible with Porsche’s own name “ Targa ”. All cars have rear-wheel drive .
