9 eleventh's. the 356 porches 1st series model was also the basis for the 911 by the mid 950 s. porsche had already begun developing a successor the 356 had become too slow. the aim was to build in cutting edge technology without compromising the basic shape. because the old model was very popular with customers. the criteria for the new model where formulated by alexander porsche known as. the sword to do it this or it should be immediately obvious from the silhouettes of the car that it's a porsche. and i believe that if you think about design you come to one conclusion you can always add modifications but you can only make them when the original has

a $356.00 now the price was right and sail started catching up the $911.00 could go its own way. i am. sure minty detective series. the famous conductor. that fun comedy andro one. and the german rock legend back was a 911 fan. i bought a porsche with the dough from my 1st gig at the oncle per in hamburg in $73.00. even stay for me as like if in total tried to tame the beast. accelerations fantastic actor fix that but loved it so much the noise for it that's like getting to know a new girl as far as my collection goes when it comes to cars my technical bride so to speak it's definitely the sexiest model for. truly

still give you a kick when you're doing 240 that's pure joy. cologne monte carlo america she's taken part in rallies around the world in her other 911 and 973 r.s. she's picked up prizes along the way and gathered. dost. decent i still have this red dust in the car probably for every. hour should have a career are as only 500 men will ever drive this car the after right on. the career r s $2.00 is the flagship of the porsche brand one of the most desired sports cars in the world a leading light of all race cars originally it was supposed to be a limited edition he says o'toole would do this car was originally intended as
8:42 am
a homologation model for motor sports before and so that means only $500.00 were supposed to be built as old was loaded on it was supposed to weigh under a 1000 kilos and be used mainly in motor a sense of. also although botia underestimated one thing this fall demand from her performance oriented customers. because suddenly there were people who wanted this are really not for the racetrack and for the but for the road so often just toss it it's now so in demand that it's the most faked car in the world. yard to sleep so i didn't see one of his certainly it is down in part to how its value crows and r.s. from the model year 973 can cost up to half a $1000000.00 euros more than the other models. that's plenty of motive for george noory and there are days it's depending on what i've got in front of me to say that every 2nd car i have to give an expert opinion honestly is

a fake as you try to focus. one striking feature is the rear spoiler which made its debut on the artist premium model known among german fans as the rock. he took the fall was head of development and to test drive engineer for porsche he shares the credits for the. first the r.s. went through extensive testing in the wind tunnel threats of wool where attached to make air turbulence visible. there are limits to what you can measure in a wind tunnel you can do much more on the track home we tested in hockenheim to
8:44 am
find out how the top speed changes when you place the spoiler higher or lower and would you believe it comes down to 10 or 15 millimeters that make all the difference in top speed or control if you went to high with the spoiler control was great but top speed was considerably lower because the air resistance was too strong. this was a car for advanced drivers uncomfortable loud and expensive. originally all 500 cars were built away well under 1000. dollars and you can do that by leaving out everything you don't really need. it gives others they close. there was no sound insulation no rust protection no all round interior lining is so it was even supposed to have

a thinner body. but that would mean cars you can't drive comfortably on the road. when porsche presented the turbocharger to the public the 911 climbed to new heights. the turbo coupe a 3.0 put everything else in the shade. 0 to 100 k. in just 5.2 seconds not for the fainthearted or the beginner. 99 why the world rally champion volatile world was playing catch up in the 911 s c turbo in the san remo rally. over several days he made up more and more ground on the leaders. the for the last stage he was just 2 minutes behind his rivals and then just look to mind he might do it. when disaster
8:46 am
struck and his drive shaft broke. he still calls it the most bitter breakdown of his career. so to see if everyone used to say it's for men not boys you hit the gas and it took ages to get going this was that was the problem with the car but it was also the challenge for me was for that you had to be hitting the accelerator as you went into the curve so that you had enough power coming out of a few one that gave the skilled driver an advantage but it freaked normal people out 1st off you know my mention by the name of. horse show was aware of the problem too. overcalled motherboard auto said we were all good drivers and we all said the same after testing true it's difficult to drive we need to work on it

and the car gradually got better and year by year with better tires wider tires with different tuning and matching of springs and shock absorbers and stabilizers and a couple that are all the time and i think mr riddell was happy with that in the end too obviously for. the 911 forever in the out on cars even 30 years ago the porsche 959 had an antilock brakes regulated shock absorbers and permanent all wheel drive with a top speed of 315 kilometers an hour it was the fastest series produced car in the world with the fischel road approval it was only offered to a select group of customers. the 996 changed everything the aero of air cooled flat engines was coming to an end the 1st liquid cooled 911 went on the market and critics predicted the end of the 911. the
8:48 am
switch from air cooled to liquid cooled engine was basically because of the exhaust problem and the noise problem when to get boys if you have an air cooled engine it's all very simple it's just going to say you have a fan that blows air in to do fine but the fan makes a lot of noise and you have nothing around the cylinder to insulate the sound that if you surround the whole thing with a liquid jacket it gets quieter and the cylinder heads are cooled better to look at the in the end because they were the 2 basic reasons for the switch from air cooled to liquid cooled in the 96 series you've also croom by the whole voyage on 6 of them. but the 911 remains popular on the road and on the track this g.t. 3 has poured. 115 horsepower and a 3.6 liter flat 6 engine. and the road version
