The 911 can trace its roots back to sketches drawn by Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche in 1959.[6] The Porsche 911 classic was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company's first model. The new car made its public debut at the 1963[1] Frankfurt Motor Show (German: Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung).[7] The car presented at the auto show had a non-operational mockup of the 901 engine, receiving a working one in February 1964.[6]
It originally was designated as the "Porsche 901" (901 being its internal project number). 82 cars were built as 901s.[6] However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars' part numbers carried on the prefix 901 for years.[6] Production began in September 1964,[7] the first 911s reached the US in February 1965 with a price tag of US$6,500.
The Porsche 991 is the internal designation for the seventh generation Porsche 911 which was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September as the replacement for the 997. The current direct injection 3.8-litre flat-six engine from the Carrera S remains, with power increasing to 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp). A Power Kit (option X51) is available for the Carrera S, increasing power to 430 hp. The Carrera engine is a 3.4-litre, producing 350 PS (257 kW; 345 hp). The car features an optional stop/start system and also electro-mechanical power steering. New for the first time on a 911 model are electronic parking brakes (button selectable) and 20 inch diameter wheels. The car also features a new seven-speed manual gearbox, a first for a production car, along with an improved seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual clutch transmission. The biggest and main change in the interior is the center console, inspired by the Carrera GT and adopted by the Panamera.
The 0--60 mph time for the manual transmission cars are 4.6 seconds for the Carrera and 4.3 seconds for the Carrera S. When equipped with PDK the 991 models can accelerate from 0--60 mph in 4.4 seconds and 4.1 seconds for the Carrera and Carrera S respectively. With the optional sports chrono package, available in cars with the PDK transmission, the 991 Carrera can accelerate from 0--60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds [33] and the Carrera S can do the same in 3.9 seconds. In May 2013, Porsche announced changes to the model year 2014 911 Turbo and Turbo S models, increasing their power to 520 hp on the 'Turbo', and 560 hp on the 'Turbo S', giving them a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 and 2.9 seconds, respectively. They've also incorporated a rear-wheel steering system on the Turbo models that will turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction at low speeds or the same direction at high speeds to improve handling.
In 2004, Sports Car International named the 911 number three on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s, the Carrera RS number seven on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s, and the 911 Carrera number seven on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s. In addition, the 911 was voted Number 2 on Automobile Magazine's list of the "100 Coolest Cars". The 997 was nominated for the World Car of the Year award for 2005.
The ERuf Model A is an all-electric sports car based on the 911. It is produced by Ruf Automobile.
Although Porsche internally changes the headings for its models, all 911 models were and are currently sold as a "911". The headings below use Porsche's internal classifications:
Porsche 911 (1963--1989)
Porsche 930 a turbo version of the original 911
Porsche 964 (1989--1994)
Porsche 993 (1993--1998)
Porsche 996 (1999--2005) all-new body and water-cooled engines
Porsche 997 (2005--2012)
Porsche 991 (2012--Present)
The series letter (A, B, C, etc.) is used by Porsche to indicate the revision for production cars. It often changes annually to reflect changes for the new model year. The first 911 models are the "A series", the first 993 cars are the "R series".
