History

The legendary Porsche 911 is the longest production run sports car of all time. It was conceived as a successor for the highly successful Porsche 356 and from the start had high aspirations for success. Ferry Porsche's son, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, designed the 911. When it went into production it was labeled the 901 but Peugeot had claims to the name, so to avoid infringing on their naming scheme, it was changed to 911. As a result, only a few Porsches used the 901 name. A modern classic if ever there was one, the long-running 911 arrived in 1964 as a replacement to the 356. An ideal sports car, from the beginning it was easy to drive, reasonably comfortable, and not terribly complicated. It was a work of art! A direct descendant f the Volkswagen Beetle, the Porsche AG 911 was unveiled at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, where it received great press reviews for its styling alone.
