The new 911E was designed to be the more comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting in between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super).

BACKGROUND The Porsche 911 was launched to wide acclaim in 1963 to replace the original aging 356 series. With its new 2.0 flat 6 engine and sleek distinctive design, it was much faster and more technically advanced than the car it replaced, but it was also considerably more expensive. Concerned the price increase over of the 356 would cost the company sales, Porsche decided to introduce a new ...

BACKGROUND Shall we get the jibes out of the way now? Y’know the sort of thing – poor man’s Porsche; it’s got a van engine; it’s a VW really… Yawn, yawn and yawn what about the Cayenne with the same platform and many shared parts from…yep a Volkswagen! In fact all current Porsche models feature VW components, its a cost saving strategy that is as relevant today as it was back in the ...

BACKGROUND Seemingly forever, the 911 has been Porsche’s ‘Top Dog’ for ultimate sports car performance, while those models below could only gaze through the glass ceiling. Sure there was the odd exception, like the limited, lightweight-ish 987 Cayman R and the more focussed 981 Cayman/Boxster GTS, but pure GT status was always dangled, but never delivered on. But ‘boom’ in 2015 Porsche ...

Time to rewind to 1989 and the 964 evolution of the 911, which even then was 26-years old. This was really the first major change (impact bumpers aside) since the icon’s 1963 debut. Visually new front and rear aprons, plus body-smoothing side skirts, added a strikingly modern take that contributed considerably to aero efficiency, the active retractable rear wing being a particular talking point, ...

An Overview The Porsche 911 is the most iconic sportscar of our time, launched in 1963, it continues to evolve, getting larger, more powerful and more accomplished with every generation. The models from 1970-1973 are probably the prettiest cars Porsche have ever made and the ’S’ variant is particularly desirable with its higher performance engine, and iconic status was sealed when Steve McQueen ...

The 3.2 Carrera was launched in October 1983 and although similar in appearance to the outgoing SC, had numerous technical improvements to improve driveability, refinement, and performance. Most notable was the new 3164cc engine that featured a digital motronic 2 electronic (DME) management system and a new Bosch LE Jetronic fuel injection to raise power from 204BHP to 231BHP. This not only gave ...

Porsche 911 2.0 SWB The original and for some the best, this is the genesis of the 911. Designed by Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche it was launched to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 and was a significant advance over its 356 predecessor. Originally designated 901, production would start a year later, in September 1964. Just 82 901s were built before the model type number was changed ...
