THE 1965 911

Porsche’s legendary 911 is now one of the most recognizable car designs, having evolved over 60 years. It was a sensation when introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, and production began a year later. It was the first all-Porsche design and boasted features such as a five-speed gearbox developed from the 904 and four-wheel disc brakes.

Slightly longer than the 356 but with a small track, it featured a 1,991 cc SOHC air-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with two Solex triple-throat carburettors that developed 130 bhp, resulting in a top speed of 209 km/h. The Solex’s were quickly replaced with Webers and the superlatives from road testers revealed just how good the 911 was. Road & Track called it ‘the Porsche to end all Porsches’ and ‘one of the best Gran Turismo cars in the world’. It summed up that the 356’s replacement was ‘superior in every respect…the stuff legends are made of.’ The first six months of production sold out instantly, leaving lengthy waiting lists.
