trentino in a porsche on the verge empty roads of the flat to a lover wanting he finds it hard not to fall in love with a 911 target. deposit her stuff says the porsche 911 is the sports car part excellent now as ever its shape is in mediately recognizable here target stands for the removeable roof. which normally sits between the windshield and the roll bar. the targets roll bar was the brainchild of company chairman ferry porsche and his son ferdinand alexander porsche who designed the 911 the rollbar was made to protect the convertibles inhabitants in case the car flipped over. but its appearance drew mixed reactions some even joked that target's brush narus the steel roll bar reminded them of pots and pans and had them reaching for their dish plots still over a quarter of the $911.00 is produced at the time were targets. unfun
2:51 am
says that christopher says that at 1st the target was a quick fix the u.s. was porsche's biggest market then and still is today but in the 1960 s. and m. dishes lawyer named growth meter launched his unsafe at any speed crusade to get dangerous cars off the roads especially convertibles so porsche quickly developed a safe convertible with a roll bar and the target was born christopher feels the name was well chosen it harks back to the target florio endurance races held on sicily and the target is an old word for shields clever not to him a good outcome of. the target has been rolling up assembly line since 1965 unlike his predecessor the 356 which had always been available as a convertible the man 11 only came as a coupe a when the model was 1st introduced in 1963 up no it's not nor stuff tells
2:52 am
his porsche started fitting the target with panoramic glass rear windows in 1989 before that there was a plastic wanted symptom the problem was you often couldn't shut it again as the plastic shrunk at the low temperatures but he says this 1973 model has a different weak spot up with a good she's better weight distribution the oil tank was mounted just. ahead of the rear axle and field here and the on the site you can guess what happened much some owners or the gas station attendants filled it with gas causing major engine damage just a year later the oil tank lid was history. its harmonious shape has made the porsche 9111 of the world's most beautiful and timeless sports cars the targets roll bar and the wrap around rear window continue the flowing line seen at the front.
2:53 am
with a centrally placed tech ometer wings that are visible from the driver's seat and ignition to the left of the steering wheel the target posts all the classic features of a $911.00 at the mention its rear engine a porsche trademark. this 911 t. has the weak is very into the 6 cylinder 2.4 leader inches which was fitted into the model starting in 1972. 1 that isaac kristof says these days 130 horsepower sounds more suitable for a family car than a racing sports car but not here as this is a porsche after all the engine revs willingly and accelerates quickly going from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just 10 seconds and it can hit 200 kilometers per hour
2:54 am
so you can still drive it with confidence today. even the highway police appreciated the car's combination of fresh air and driving performance the 100000th porsche ever made was a 912 target equipped with a blue light for the police about inverting back that's where stuff says fans. where the 911 is handling is 2nd to none with the rear engine delivers endless amounts of traction making thrills like power steering any as piece of purple as he calls it the perfect recipe for and it was driving pleasure but compared to modern 9 eleventh's cornering stability is limited so when you enter a curve quickly and suddenly take your foot off the gas the rear end can slide out to get a lot of stick then you must quickly counter steer to get back on track it's a bit of the way. but such driving challenges and the inevitable through the sound of the air cooled boxer engine are the ingredients that have made the classic 911
2:55 am
such a success story. in a. crystal says the 911 is the most successful super car of all time like no other and balances sportiness with everyday practicality and with a 911 target porsche added a trendsetting security concept he says the car's the perfect synthesis of hedonism and rationality to open air feeling that state and safety and that makes the 911 target a true milestone and not a mode of history. in 1982 another porsche started to give the target a run for its money the $911.00 convertible after a 16 year break the sports car maker returned to making open top vehicles without rule bars still the target remains in porsches line up to this day.
