History of the model

The history of the 911 can be traced back to 1956, when Porsche decided to build a four-seater that would be larger then the 356. Porsche then had no intention of replacing the 356 with this car.

During the project however Ferry Porsche changed his mind. Because if the new car would be a four-seater, Porsche would have to compete with large companies like Daimler-Benz, and that would be a tough competition for a small manufacturere like Porsche. To avoid that competion, Porsche decided the car would have to be a two-seater like the 356.

The 911 however was designed to be more luxuruous then the 356. It got some of the 356's styling features, but it also had a more modern look, a roomier interiour and a six-cylinder engine with more power. 

 In 1963 when the design of the car was almost finished it was introduced to the public at the Frankfurt Automobile show. It was then called the 901. Peugeot however objected to the use of this name, so Porsche changed it to the now so magical '911'.

In the summer of 1964 the 911 went into production (as the A-series). A lot of people argued that this car couldn't be considered a 'real' Porsche, because it was supposed to be too luxurious and too heavy, but most soon grew to accept it and, inevitably, respect it. Press response was enthousiastic. Car and Driver called it '...worth the price of all the old Porsches put together.'
