First launched in 1964 and still in production today, over 45 years after the first model appeared, the Porsche 911 has become an automotive legend.
Over the years, the 911 has continually evolved to the point where today's versions share little more than a name, a shape and an engine configuration with their earliest forebears. Compared with the original 2-litre 911, the latest versions are physically larger. more than twice as powerful, and are packed with cutting-edge technology such as all-wheel drive and variable-geometry turbochargers.
The many thousands of changes in 911 specification through the years are recorded and explained in this book. which has been compiled from technical documentation in Porsche's archives.
Each model year is covered in depth, with full specification tables detailing engines, transmissions, suspension, wheels and tyres, weights, dimensions and fluid capacities, as well as chassis numbers and production numbers for each model. The comprehensive tables are supported by descriptive text explaining significant developments together with a wealth of photographs and technical illustrations.
From the first 2-litre normally aspirated 911 through to the 2009 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabriolet, all models are described, including supreme performance models such as the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. the original 1975 911 Turbo, the 911-derived 959 supercar, and the race-ready 911 GT2 and GT3 models.
This easy-to-use fact-packed book provides an essential reference guide to all Porsche 911 models.
