Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 is a luxury two-door sports car made by Porsche AG to replace the Porsche 356 since 1964, in Stuttgart. Now in its eighth generation (992) In 1964 it used to be called as, Porsche 901 but, due to trademark problems with Peugeot, Porsche changed the name to Porsche 911 before it went on sale. Every 911 engine was placed in the rear of a car, which makes it iconic since then.

The Porsche 911 was mostly known for fun-to-drive cars that can be used daily, but because the engine was placed at the rear of the car, make it often unstable and hard to control for early models. Porsche 911 was thought to be one of the longest-running car models. 

The Original (1963-1973)

The original 911 was designed as a larger, more  practical version of the Porsche 356 with an extra pair of seats. As such, critics were quick to pounce on its lack of focus.

G-series (1973-1989)
The G-Series also known as "930 Generation " ran for a long time, too, starting in 1973 and only being replaced in 1989. The most significant move made in this time was the introduction of turbocharging to the 911, the Turbo you see above arriving in 1975 with a mighty 260bhp powering the rear wheels. Making the 911 Turbo the most powerful car on the market.thumb|911 Turbo 3.3  (930 Generation)964 (1989-1994)
