Porsche 911 history and evolution
Since debuting in 1963, the Porsche 911 has evolved through eight generations, gaining speed and power with each redesign. The first Porsche 911 offered a 130 horsepower air-cooled flat-six engine and a top speed of 210 km/hr. The Porsche 911 Targa was introduced in 1966, featuring an innovative removable roof. By 1972, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 offered 210 horsepower and the first ever rear spoiler on a production car. The second generation launched in 1974 with the first Porsche 911 Turbo arriving in 1975. Porsche introduced all-wheel drive in 1989. Coveted fourth-generation vehicles, 1993 to 1998, are the last models with air-cooled engines. Models from 1999 onwards feature water-cooled engines.
