History of Porsche 911


The Porsche 911 (pronounced as nine eleven) is a sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. The famous, distinctive and durable car has undergone continuous development since its introduction in 1964. Mechanically it is notable for being rear engined and, until the introduction of the all-new Type Porsche 996 in 1999, air-cooled. All 911s use six-cylinder boxer engines.
Since its inception the Porsche 911 has been modified, both by private teams and the factory itself, for racing, rallying and other types of automotive competition. It is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included, mainly the powerful Porsche 935.
In the international poll for the award of the world's most influential car of the twentieth century the Porsche 911 came fifth after the Ford Model T, the Mini, the Citroën DS and the Volkswagen
