[12108,'','The flat-six engine','In coming up with the conceptual design for a new engine in the 356 successor, it was clear from the outset that it would be a rear engine. Under the leadership of the nephew of Ferry Porsche, Ferdinand Piëch, an air-cooled six-cylinder flat engine was created with an axial blower and – due to its higher rev reserves and more refined running properties – one overhead camshaft per side. The camshafts were chain driven after bevel shafts or toothed belts were retired. The initial specification called for 2 litres of displacement with a potential for increases up to 2.7 litres. At that time, none of the Porsche technical specialists could have foreseen that this engine type, in its basic form, would be continued up to the year 1998 or that its displacement would reach 3.8 litres.',' The flatsix engine In coming up with the conceptual design for a new engine in the 356 successor it was clear from the outset that it would be a rear engine Under the leadership of the nephew of Ferry Porsche Ferdinand Piëch an aircooled sixcylinder flat engine was created with an axial blower and – due to its higher rev reserves and more refined running properties – one overhead camshaft per side The camshafts were chain driven after bevel shafts or toothed belts were retired The initial specification called for 2 litres of displacement with a potential for increases up to 2 7 litres At that time none of the Porsche technical specialists could have foreseen that this engine type in its basic form would be continued up to the year 1998 or that its displacement would reach 3 8 litres In coming up with the conceptual design for a new engine in the 356 successor it was clear from the outset that it would be a rear engine Under the leadership of the nephew of Ferry Porsche Ferdinand Piëch an aircooled sixcylinder flat engine was created with an axial blower and – due to its higher rev reserves and more refined running properties – one overhead camshaft per side The camshafts were chain driven after bevel shafts or toothed belts were retired The initial specification called for 2 litres of displacement with a potential for increases up to 2 7 litres At that time none of the Porsche technical specialists could have foreseen that this engine type in its basic form would be continued up to the year 1998 or that its displacement would reach 3 8 litres The flat engine was aircooled up to and including the type 993 Then engineers switched over to water cooling – one benefit was that this let them move into new performance classes At first this shift met with scepticism by many enthusiasts and for some purists it still represents a break with 911 history But in the view of automotive experts the shift to water cooling did not by any means water down the total 911 package rather just the opposite was the case Its importance has increased in every model series ever since it was introduced The sixcylinder flat engine of the type 901 911 generated a power of 96 kW 130 hp at 6 100 min from 2 litres displacement For the sake of completeness a brief mention should also be made of the Porsche 912 here It was launched in parallel with the 911 in spring 1965;

by chance that the luggage compartment is at the front and the flat engine is situated at the rear But precisely because of its venerable genealogy things were not easy for the Porsche 911 at the beginning The predecessor model the 356 was a legend in its own lifetime and the 911 had to measure up to it As its successor the 911 was expected to continue the success of the Type 356 78 000 of which had been sold but in technical terms it was to be a stateoftheart car or even better ahead of its time It also had to be larger so that there would still be room for a golf bag in the luggage compartment despite the 2 2 interior concept In line with these requirements the Porsche engineers created a completely new bold design – and therefore laid the technical foundations for the resounding success of the car For example the frame and the chassis from the 356 were not used for the Type 901 as the design was called internally but were totally redesigned To make the luggage compartment more spacious the designers planned spacesaving McPherson suspension at the front and the outdated swing axle was replaced by a semitrailing arm suspension at the rear The launch of the new model was also a great commercial risk for what was then Porsche KG In 1964 during the production preparation phase Porsche took over the neighbouring supplier Karosseriewerk Reutter Co GmbH This was a considerable feat for the small sports car manufacturer as the approximately 1 000 Reutter employees were all taken on by Porsche KG and their years of service were carried over The fact that Ferry Porsche recognised the potential for the future success of the extremely innovative 911 concept is one of his greatest achievements How the 911 got its name When deciding on the name for the new model Porsche initially based their choice on the Volkswagen spare part number ranges In view of possible future cooperation with the VW plant the new Porsche was to be compatible with the number ranges used there As the 900 numbers had not yet been allocated in Wolfsburg the decisionmakers at Zuffenhausen chose 901 for the sixcylinder version and 902 for a subsequent fourcylinder car On 12th September 1963 the great day had arrived – Porsche presented the prototype of the 901 at the International Motor Show IAA in Frankfurt Main However there was still a long way to go before the vehicle was ready for series production and another year passed until the Porsche engineers had developed the 901 from the prototype phase to series production The car was then launched on the market in October 1964 In September 1964 the Porsche 901 was presented at the very important Paris Motor Show However the show caused an unexpected problem for Porsche At the beginning of October 1964 the astonished Porsche management received an objection from the French manufacturer Peugeot which indicated that the type name 901 was in violation of French copyright and trademark protection laws This initially caused bemusement all round as the model name that Porsche traditionally based on the relevant design number had in the case of the Type 901 as well been rigorously researched by the

middle since 1929 and therefore owned the legal rights to all similar number sequences in France There was nothing left for Porsche to do than rename the 901 right in the middle of the model launch phase On 22nd November 1964 after considering many different options including using an affix such as “GT” Ferry Porsche decided to rename the vehicle “Type 911” The decision was based on very practical considerations Brochures price lists and manuals as well as the type number on the rear and on the glove compartment lid were already being finalised meaning that using the typeface already created for the number “1” twice was the simplest solution There was just not enough time to create a new number let alone completely new lettering In 1964 no one could have guessed that this 911 emergency solution would one day become worldfamous The predecessor model the 356 was a legend in its own lifetime and the 911 had to measure up to it As its successor the 911 was expected to continue the success of the Type 356 78 000 of which had been sold but in technical terms it was to be a stateoftheart car or even better ahead of its time It also had to be larger so that there would still be room for a golf bag in the luggage compartment despite the 2 2 interior concept In line with these requirements the Porsche engineers created a completely new bold design – and therefore laid the technical foundations for the resounding success of the car For example the frame and the chassis from the 356 were not used for the Type 901 as the design was called internally but were totally redesigned To make the luggage compartment more spacious the designers planned spacesaving McPherson suspension at the front and the outdated swing axle was replaced by a semitrailing arm suspension at the rear The launch of the new model was also a great commercial risk for what was then Porsche KG In 1964 during the production preparation phase Porsche took over the neighbouring supplier Karosseriewerk Reutter Co GmbH This was a considerable feat for the small sports car manufacturer as the approximately 1 000 Reutter employees were all taken on by Porsche KG and their years of service were carried over The fact that Ferry Porsche recognised the potential for the future success of the extremely innovative 911 concept is one of his greatest achievements How the 911 got its name When deciding on the name for the new model Porsche initially based their choice on the Volkswagen spare part number ranges In view of possible future cooperation with the VW plant the new Porsche was to be compatible with the number ranges used there As the 900 numbers had not yet been allocated in Wolfsburg the decisionmakers at Zuffenhausen chose 901 for the sixcylinder version and 902 for a subsequent fourcylinder car On 12th September 1963 the great day had arrived – Porsche presented the prototype of the 901 at the International Motor Show IAA in Frankfurt Main However there was still a long way to go before the vehicle was ready for series production and another year passed until the Porsche engineers had developed the 901 from the prototype phase to series production The car was then launched on the market in October 1964 In September 1964 the Porsche 901 was presented at the very important Paris Motor Show However the show caused an unexpected problem for Porsche At the beginning of October 1964 the astonished Porsche management received an objection from the French manufacturer Peugeot which indicated that the type name 901 was in violation of French copyright and trademark protection laws This initially caused bemusement all round as the model name that Porsche traditionally based on the relevant design number had in the case of the Type 901 as well been rigorously researched by the development department Just one German lorry producer used the name 901 which was not viewed as a problem for Porsche But Peugeot stated that they had been using

the roof line slopes downwards towards the rear ends above the rear wheels and therefore emphasises where the power of a 911 is transferred to the road At the rear a continuous ridge above the new strikingly slim rear lights structures the rear end across the entire width of the vehicle for the first time thus giving an impression of width This effect is further enhanced by the powerful shoulders of the sturdily shaped rear wings The rear spoiler below the air intakes of the engine cover has been redesigned and is now wider Furthermore LED technology has been used for all the rear lights The 991 series Cabriolet is another masterpiece of the current design The fabric hood follows the contours set by the Coupé roof almost exactly and gives this 911 Cabriolet a look that is as perfect as that of the Coupé The credit for this mainly goes to the roof designers who have developed technology for retracting and putting up the roof which can create exactly this shape The starting point for the new design was the modified proportions of the sports car The 100millimetres longer wheelbase the wider track at the front and the reduced height coupled with the up to 20inch wheels are the foundations of a new Coupé with an even more athletic appearance From this basis the designers developed the new 911 shape with an optimised height width ratio Without changing the overall width a sports car was created that sits even lower on the road The standard bixenon headlights have also been reshaped and reflect the traditional circular headlight outline of the 911 Following tradition once again the new 911 does not have a radiator grille but side air intakes – a characteristic feature of the Porsche sports car with rear engine The other front lights LED indicators daytime running lights and position lights have been moved to the very outside and have been extended around the front to the side;

have long since made the original into the genetic model There is something of the 911 in every Porsche In design and technology sportiness and everyday practicality every Porsche model and line without exception orients itself on the iconic 911 Externally the family lineage can be seen from unique design traits that are instantly recognisable while under the hood it is efficient engineering solutions that the 911 pioneered And of course the sporty driving experience and extraordinary spectrum of great suitability ranging from track to road which is found in different measure in every Porsche and yet is always authentically true to the brand One of the globally unique special features of the 911 is the constancy with which it exemplifies the Porsche brand values: not provocative aggression but sporting fairness on the racetrack and in everyday motoring A reputation that has earned it widespread popularity across society Porsche takes great care with every new product to build on this popularity The result is vehicles that take up individual positions within their markets and further convey the Porsche idea The 911 was unmistakably the influence behind every Porsche in today’s model range One shared detail is for instance the low front sections of all Porsche models where the wings are always higher than the bonnet Instead of a radiator grille there are air inlets The muscular wing contours with the ‘Coke bottle line’ seen from above is common to all models as are the Vshaped tapering joints at the front and rear plus the design of the rear light cluster which emphasises the shape of the rear wing The way in which the surfaces are formed the interplay between concave and convex areas for which Porsche is known and which is also one of the characteristic identifying features of a Porsche is individually developed on every vehicle and often pushed to the very limit of what can technically be achieved Without having to trouble any shortlived fashionable features the design of the Porsche vehicles touches the observer at the very first moment of eye contact in a highly emotional but fully unique way: cars that you desperately want to wash by hand even though they are already clean just to be able to experience the shape more intensely The engineering genes: fit for racing and everyday driving Equally unique are the engineering genes of the 911 which reappear in all other Porsche vehicles Over the 50 years of its development the 911 has like no other sports car on earth cultivated its extreme breadth between racetrack capability on the one hand and everyday motoring suitability on the other It always remained exemplary in its efficiency and established engineering solutions in the car market that stood the test of time The most prominent 911 engineering inheritance is carried by the Boxster and Cayman in front of the rear axle: the flatsix engine which combines optimum balancing of mass and thus quiet running with peerlessly low centre of gravity The twoseaters have two independently developed engines with custom capacities outputs and setups However the concept comes from the 911: variable control times reversible valve stroke – called VarioCam Plus – and direct petrol injection are the underlying components The latest technology transfer added to this vehicle electrical system recuperation mapcontrolled thermal management of engine cooling and the auto start stop function The central positioning of the engine goes back to the very origins of the brand: the great grandfather of all Porsche sports cars the Porsche No 1 of 1948 was a twoseater with a flat engine ahead of the rear axle Not only the engine but also the gearbox and chassis components of the Boxster and Cayman are close derivatives from the current 911 The optional 7speed PDK direct shift gearbox is largely the same – except for turning in the opposite direction of course The roadster and sports coupé thus now also allow ‘coasting’ i e fuelsaving nonpowered rolling using the engine’s idling speed Even given all the differences between the midengine twoseaters and the fourseater 911 Carrera with a rear engine the vehicle body is a technical masterpiece that has benefited from the current 911: the lightweight body of the Cayman is made 44 of aluminium The strategy for which material to use to optimum effect in which place originates from the development of the current 911 Carrera generation Intelligent lightweight construction has always been one of the core features of the 911 – and of every Porsche For 50 years this principle has enabled the 911 with less engine power to be faster than much more powerful rivals Components and concepts: the 911 points the way Above all else the 911 is for all Porsche vehicles the key influence behind numerous concepts and components Rather than relying on shortterm effects Porsche puts its faith in longterm technologies – when they are ready to do the job No other carmaker for instance has worked for so long or so consistently with supercharging by exhaust turbocharger Anyone who said ‘Turbo’ in the 1970s or ‘80s meant the Porsche 911 Turbo From this emerged a prime example of downsizing in engine construction the 2 8litre engine of the Porsche 959 Today turbocharging is seen as the ideal way to cut down weight and reduce fuel consumption This example also shows that efficiency improvements at Porsche are always performance improvements as well Turbo engines with the knowhow from the 911 power for instance the top Cayenne and Panamera models setting new standards in their respective market segments What gave the 911 a 50year history of success is carried on today in parallel fashion and in their own independent way by the other Porsche lines Sporting flair and everyday practicality innovation and efficiency are the characteristics that have carried the Cayenne into the SUV segment and the Panamera into the GT class Like the 911 they are offering the right solution at the right time The Cayenne S Hybrid for instance was not the first hybrid vehicle in this segment but the Porsche with its two engines continues to this day to far outsell all the rest Design profile and silhouette secure a unique position for the Panamera in its market segment Designed as a fourdoor touring sports car it combines many talents in typical Porsche style: sporty handling a spacious variable interior and on top of that the supremely comfortable ride of a typical grand tourer And there is one more thing that all Porsche vehicles have inherited from the 911: the clear welldeveloped ergonomics of a sports car; a Porsche driver instantly and instinctively feels at home in every model of every range That guarantees the ideal basis for the Porsche driving experience regardless of this being provided in such individual style by the different model lines with one special shared feature that has been a Porsche trademark since day one: the ignition lock is always to the left of the steering column This detail too reappears in every Porsche For the other lines of the Porsche brand too the 911 is a template and shining example 50 years of success have

Porsche Exclusive only produced 15 units of this special customer edition in the coveted turbo look In addition 76 vehicles of the type 911 Turbo 3 6 were produced − another version of the flat construction turbo This was followed two years later by 14 units of a 911 Turbo 3 6 Cabriolet type 993 a oneofakind convertible for all those Porsche drivers who love the sun and high performance The 911 Carrera 3 6 Speedster of the type 993 is one of the rarest Porsche sports cars ever Just two units of this model were built in 1995 and 2000 In the years 1997 98 the tradition of the aircooled flat engine was temporarily interrupted by the Exclusive limited series of the 911 Turbo S type 993 A total of 345 units of this model were produced; along with its unique looks it also offered 42 hp more than the production Turbo Porsche Exclusive revived the tradition of the limited series at the IAA in 2009 making a successful comeback with the 911 Sport Classic whose production was limited to 250 units Its 408 hp flat engine a unique exterior that revived the legendary “ducktail” of the Carrera RS 2 7 of 1973 and an interior of the finest materials made this series a prized possession which was sold out quickly Porsche Exclusive introduced the next limited edition series in 2011 to mark its own 25th anniversary Although the 911 Speedster was based on the Carrera S type 997 it owed its shortened windscreen entirely to the tradition of the 356 Speedster which is why this series was limited to 356 units Then in 2012 the 911 Club Coupé − a very special Porsche Exclusive vehicle − was created as a thankyou to Porsche clubs for their loyal service This model was produced in an edition of 13 units which reflects the number of members of the first two Porsche clubs in the year 1952 12 units were sold to Porsche club members who had registered in advance for a sales lottery of the vehicles The thirteenth car was kept in the collection of the Porsche Museum in honour of Porsche clubs worldwide Since 1986 Porsche has been offering highend factoryinstalled vehicle upgrades under the name Porsche Exclusive This lets customers order a unique vehicle that meets all of their special wishes − in terms of both styling and performance Nearly any customer request can been fulfilled It only needs to be feasible given technical legal and qualityrelated constraints Besides offering custom manufacturing to its customers Porsche Exclusive also produces extraordinary limited production series They are not only distinguished by the use of select materials and a love for detail but also by their limited numbers The first Porsche Exclusive limited production series was the 911 Turbo “Flachbau” “flatnose” whose styling was based on a type 935 race car This lowprofile variant of the type 930 had an independent look that featured folding headlights in combination with modified front wings 984 units of this model were sold between 1982 and 1989 In 1992 93 86 units of a lightweight design of the 911 Turbo S type 964 were built in cooperation with Porsche Motorsport Featuring a 381 hp engine and 180 kg less weight than the production car this 911 set the performance standard for all 911 Turbo sports cars with a 3 3litre engine In 1993 this was followed by the production model of the Carrera 2 Speedster type 964;
