Porsche 911 development

It all started in 1963 with the 901 which, after Peugeot complained, was changed to the 911.

This is a 2.0L version from 1965.

They moved up to 2.2L in 1969.

The ultimate 911 was the 2.7L RS.

The big change came with the type G.

A longer wheelbase provided better handling and now with a 2.7L MFi engine.

In 1978 the engine changed to a 3.0L and the new American style impact bumpers.

This one is @michelle.gent’s 1978 SC.

The new addition to the line up was the ‘Widowmaker’. A 3.3L Turbo called the 930.

This style continued through to 1989 when the 964 model was introduced.

And the 964 Turbo.

The last of the aircooled 911 came between 1995 and 1998 in the form of the 993. This I like best.

Including the awesome 993 Turbo.

Then the big change came in 1999 with the launch of the 996, the first flat six watercooled Porsche.

In 2004 an updated model is launched, the 997.

Then in 2012 the 991 is launched. Which in 2017 changed to the current models. The 991.2.

This is the 911 Turbo S Executive Model. Powered by a 3.8L engine producing 607bhp and costing £190,000. This is the top of the range standard model. Only the GT models cost more and go faster.

Which one will you spend your Steem on?
