356
Classic 356Porsche's first production automobile, and the first car to bear the Porsche name was road-certified: the Porsche 356. Lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, all 356 generations are also available in an open-top version (Cabriolet, Speedster or Roadster). The "Gmünd Roadster" was powered by a 1.1-liter air-cooled flat-four engine from Volkswagen. The engine's power was increased to 35 hp for the 356. The roadster weighed just 585 kilograms and reached speeds of up to 135 km/h (83 mph).
911 F-Modell
Classic 911 F-ModelIn September 1963, Porsche unveiled the 901 – successor to the 356 – at the Frankfurt IAA. Series production began in September 1964, and the model was soon renamed the 911. Initially built only as a Coupé, the 911 featured a self-supporting body and a new 2.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine producing 130 PS. From the 1967 model year, a "safety cabriolet" Targa version with a fixed roll bar and removable roof was introduced. In September 1968, the wheelbase was extended by 57 mm, improving comfort and driving dynamics. The 911 S, the first engine variant, was launched, followed by versions with the designations T, L, and E.
911 G-Modell
Classic 911 G-ModelFor model year 1974, the body design of the Porsche 911 was comprehensively redesigned for the first time. In addition to a Coupé and a Targa version, a Cabriolet was also available as of model year 1983. The most distinctive feature of this generation is the raised bumpers with black plastic bellows. At the rear, G models featured a red panel with a Porsche logo (in red or black, depending on the year) and large rubber buffers with integrated number plate lighting.
914
914The Porsche 914 was a joint development between Porsche and Volkswagen and was the new Porsche entry-level model as of model year 1970. The two-seater, also known as the "VW Porsche", was a mid-engine Sports Car. Striking design features included the very long wheelbase for the vehicle length, short overhangs, the removable roof centre panel made from glass fiber-reinforced plastic as well as the wide safety bar. The 914 also featured pop-up headlights.
928
Classic 928When designing the 928, which went into series production as model year 1978, the focus was on lightweight construction. The doors, front wings and bonnet were made from aluminum instead of sheet steel. Behind the plastic bumpers integrated in the body shape there were also aluminum profiles that could withstand a collision at up to 8 km/h (5 mph) without any damage. The 928 had round, electrically operated pop-up headlights that were integrated in the wings. The rounded fastback was dominated by the large window of the rear lid.
944
Classic 944Although the body of the 944 was based on the 924, it had considerably more striking contours. The 944 also featured a 2.5-litre in-line four-cylinder engine developed by Porsche. The 944 was therefore viewed as a "true" Porsche in the eyes of customers. A front spoiler painted in the exterior colour with square rubber buffers as well as much wider, slightly angular wings clearly distinguished the 944 from the 924. For the last model year (1989), the displacement was increased to 2.7 litres and the power grew to 165 hp.
954
Classic 959The 959 technology platform was built on the basis of the 911 model line in an exclusive series of 292 cars. With a biturbo flat engine featuring water-cooled 4-valve cylinder heads, an electronically controlled chassis and all-wheel drive system, as well as an aerodynamically optimized body, Porsche demonstrated what was possible in the field of automotive design at that time.
964
Classic 964The 911 Carrera 4 was the first 911 to feature an all-wheel drive system. Its 3.6-litre engine produced 250 hp. The new generation of the 911 came onto the market in model year 1989, at the same time as the phasing-out of the G series. The 911 Carrera 4 type 964 contained 85 percent new parts, but largely retained the classic shape of its predecessor. It was available in the Coupé, Targa and Cabriolet body designs. Despite many similarities in the design, the 964 had much better aerodynamics than the G model. This was helped in particular by the new round front and rear sections as well as an automatically extending rear spoiler.
968
Classic 698The last development stage of four-cylinder transaxle models at Porsche was initiated with the 968 in model year 1992. Most of the body parts for the successor to the 944 S2 were adopted from the previous model. Nonetheless, the front end of the 968 in particular was much more modern – and partly anticipated the front design of the later 911 (type 993). The 968 was available as a Coupé and a Cabriolet.
986
Classic 986When launched in September 1996, the Porsche Boxster set new performance and safety standards in the open-top Sports Car market segment. The roadster combined the dynamic performance of a Sports Car with unlimited day-to-day usability. A new type of convertible-top kinematic system allowed the electric convertible top to be opened and closed in just 12 seconds. The Boxster stood out from the competition with its mid-engine concept based on a typical Porsche flat-six engine.
993
Classic 993In model year 1994, the 964 model line was replaced by the 993 model line. This was a significant advance, not just from a technical, but also a visual perspective. The front wings of the 993 Carrera were wider and flatter. Because of the shorter luggage compartment lid, the black rubber lip forming the seam between the body and the front bumper on the G model and the 964 was omitted. The rear wings were also widened and ran in a straighter line towards the rear with the higher-positioned tail lights.
996
Classic 996In 1997, Porsche launched a completely new 911. The classic body was larger and the chassis had been further enhanced. The model also featured a more powerful version of the new water-cooled flat-six engine.
Carrera GT
Classic Carrera GTThe car was initially intended to use a turbocharged flat-six engine but was later redesigned to use a new V10 engine, pushing the project back to planned completion in 2000. The V10 was a unit secretly built by Porsche for the Footwork Formula One team in 1992, but later shelved. The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 L (5,733 cc) V10 engine rated at 450 kW (612 PS; 603 hp).
