a country road. as a so i just have to drive it for half an hour and i get the feeling the car was built just for me like no other sports car was built for so long and copies fi so many of the coaching if you need vision to build a thing like that so it certainly was not rational. state of the art in technical terms a dream car for millions of people. you can build all has already made his dream come true the 911 captured the imagination of the stuttgart native when he was just a boy today the business man has a whole collection of them. and some are rarities. like this 911 s

also known as super model source ports models built between 966 and 68 with 160 horsepower absolute rockets in those days his 3 are so central to his life that he's building his house around them so that his 9 eleventh's will be practically carved in his living room. plus katrin of us there's nothing nicer to do in the evening than admire cars like that for me it's an art form from each of us with constituent. art that moves you. and. you would wish to cruise more cool on the air cooled engine sound different to other engines they feel different and drive differently from the cars keep on going and go totally robust totally reliable and the old race cars were driven straight to the racetrack they raced for 24 hours and then they were driven home again imho

the risk. and once own emotions. because you experience such indescribable emotions antacid to commotions i feel betrayed i said after a process the mother now on and if you win or come close wow. portia has a warehouse near stuttgart where the stores 9 eleventh's from 55 years every generation and every series. one of each only a museum of success conserved for posterity. only a select few are allowed in. until his death peter deutsch around germany's 1st test institute for vintage cars and specialized in expert opinions on

$911.00 it's. the 356 porsche's 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 constant errors. the criteria for the new model were formulated by alexander porsche known as bootsie. this sort of 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 you can only make them when the original has

become obsolete. so you have to make the absolute best out of the minimum. to move. at the time. was chief designer work development. along with the scene here in the middle of the picture he was instrumental in the design but exactly who can claim the credit for the design of the $911.00 remains a matter of contention. was not drawn by one single designer but by a team it will all have happened under the watchful eye of mr commando who also drew the $356.00. but the head of that particular department was. working for a company to put it somewhat if in doubt. 963

percent of its prototype at the international motor show in frankfurt with a $130.00 horsepower 6 cylinder boxer. engine it was originally called the 901 but directed the french carmaker claimed the rights to the 3 digit model number with a 0 in the middle so 0 became 01. and a valid point. when she was standard through a standard utility to be used to come. to an end and i've been through a pic on from by. him up a bit in the uk and they can and i don't post shit. it's not

a movie. last nobody could have imagined tell popular the model would become more than a $1000009.00 eleventh's have rolled off the production lines in stick parts if and hows and since then with no sign of a slowdown. took the car time to get going at 1st though customers were not impressed. there was a simple reason the last 356 s c had a list price of about 16000 german marks so simple was on the 1st 901-4911 was about 30 percent more expensive and i've been told. so polish i developed a parallel model the $912.00 it looked like a $911.00 but had the performance specs of

a $356.00 and now the price was right and sales started catching up the 911 could go its own way. i. come to term in t.v. detective series. the famous conductor. have their fun cuddly andro one. and the german rock legend who both lyndon back was a 911 fan. i bought a porsche with the dough from my 1st gig at the on call person hamburg in 73. even state premiers like you have been told to try to tame the beast. accelerations fantastic have to fix that but loved it so when the noise forgets 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 models for. a truly

sorry that's the 1st time i've stalls it's a movie to. 11 percent of all 911 are bought by women claudio drives a car ride g.t.s. answer company car. because it was like the fun of a porsche has always been in the back where the engine is if there's a sports mode but only here and then the engine sounds even better. cool drives 40000 kilometers a year pro career it takes the headhunting agency lawyer from appointment to appointment in the blink of an eye. when some one of the nicest things in life is striving to do something for early in the morning if i've got an appointment at 9 i'll hit the road at 6 and have the autobahn to myself that's when you can step on the gas and really see what it can do by the fact that this car can

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. dust. decent i still have this red dust in the car probably forever. have partial karrar as only 500 men will ever drive this car yeah fright me. the career are as $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

a homologation model for motor sports fufu thinks that means only $500.00 were supposed to be built as auto saluted on it was supposed to weigh under a 1000 kilos and be used mainly in motor a set of. whole saga botia under-estimated one thing this fall demand from her performance oriented customers. was suddenly there were people who wanted this r.l. it could be not for the racetrack and for the but for the road so off you just toss it it's now so in demand then it's the most faked car in the world. yard to sleep so i can see one of the certainly it is down in part to how its value grows and r.s. from the model year 973 can cost up to happen a $1000000.00 euros more than the other models of all that's plenty of motive for george noory and there are days it's depending on what i've gotten from to me to show that every 2nd car i have to give an expert opinion honestly is

a fake as you try to fudge. one striking feature is the rear spoiler which made its debut on the artist premier 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. in come on 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 how to

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 and. this was a car for advanced drivers uncomfortable loud and expensive. originally all 500 cars were built to weigh well under 1000. dollars and you can do that by leaving out everything you don't really need. there was no sound insulation no rust protection no all round interior lining so it was even supposed to have

a thinner body. but that would mean cars you can't drive comfortably on the road was it. 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. before the last stage he was just 2 minutes behind his rivals and this looked like he might do it. when disaster struck

and his drive shaft broke. he still calls it the most bitter breakdown of his career. to a bottle 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 is what 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 fresh off the normal mentioned body so maybe he. was aware of the problem too. on the board auto thought 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 really was happy with it in the end to me so for. the 911 forever in the out on cars even 30 years ago the porsche 959 had an anti long 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 air 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. fuel. the

switch from air cooled to liquid cooled engine was basically because of the exhaust problem and the noise problem when to get hip you have an air cooled engine it's all very simple it's just good to see you have a fan that blows air in to find me but the fan makes a lot of noise and you have nothing around the cylinder to insulate the sound. if you surround the whole thing with a liquid jacket when it gets quieter and the cylinder heads are cooled better to look at that 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 crude home by the ballboy 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

is good for the race track to. just ride for haha would slow it's he wants a go on the norberg. he's been a 911 fan since he was a kid and i retired teacher he now owns 4 of them would be for me the best thing i can afford if he says nothing better than a 911 for that's just the way it is for the porsche 911 is the ultimate for me for me there's simply no better car. it wasn't easy for him to find affordable models. today your dreams coming true for shots to put the pedal to the metal on the legendary northwood thing. to get a taste of what it's like to be a racing driver to mingle with drivers and mechanics before the race.

the new guy from stuttgart top shows is going to face off against the big names no harm to take a quick peek at the pits. he quickly forgets about his hip replacements and other ailments cured by his passion for question. because a driver lets her go up and side one of the race cars just. were done. slow it says impressed. course was them on points out that while sloths his car may not have all the fancy gizmos it is easier to get into and out of. my. it's perfect. but can haha slow it send his 10 year old porsche g.t. 3 pull their own with modern race cars the mere thought makes him nervous but even

with his heart racing he wants to give it a try. great striving is an intellectual pursuit to the driver has to study every curve to get the speed just right. i think. instructor cost in places takes the beginner through the track he's a member of the porsche sports driving school. here it comes on the left if we go in here quite fast we have a fairly strong grip on is that it is but if i got too fast and here i won't make it all the way over to the left side of course that's kind of if you can do it with

formula one cars because of the different aerodynamics. and i want to hit the brakes hard. to hit the brakes hard and brake affectively i need the car to be straight affect even the dems and most men all to god a state does not he feels so just oh well let's keep up in his old 911. now somewhat on if i said the older model can't quite keep up with the new ones it's partly to do with the manual gearshift modern gear boxes have a duplex clutch that lines up the next gear so all we have to do is move the gear shift to one side and it's all done within a 10th of a 2nd. you just can't keep up with a straight manual gearshift mcguigan flow. despite it all how college floats is determined to give it a try. the

porsche instructor will be at his side safety 1st it's the pensioners' 1st time on the race track. see the tension in him. but it's not just the driver being put to the task. that 10 year old g t 3 also faces the test of a lifetime. finally they cross the finish line car and driver are safe and sound. the incident absolutely amazing really fantastic that was so much fun it was passed by the sensational. cafe once again thanks a 1000000 really great perfect instructor fantastic just unbelievable from the feeling inside to the noise in the car he rivet up and stay in the high revs and

only come down when you go around a tight curve exist and braking takes some getting used to but when you break that you really break because if you really hit the brake pedal hard you have to do it with all your strength even with the break boosters which is a night at this and then you come down from like $200.00 to $80.00 and then you go around the corner and take off again. it's like you're flying the feast of the wallabies god knows what you did. really well to that's when he took the corners well stuck to the line of least resistance which state car sensational. testing i have to say dream come true. client maneuverable durable for almost 60 years the porsche 911 has been the most

popular and most successful sports car in the world and for that reason the best selling. my. wonder win on sunday sell on monday the idea was to make the car so famous with racing victories that customers wanted to buy it were called. the 911 it was never meant to just be a status symbol or a plaything for the rich but also a fast car that could handle everyday life. to this day that's what it embodies. the suits you get in and it's almost like being in a normal car and it's no problem just a never around to the bakers and it. would fall. 8 generations of 911 and unforgettable success story that started in 1963 in
