porsche 911

Year 1973 saw the first Porsche Turbo prototype on display at several shows across the Europe. In the year 1974, the Porsche 911 was launched in the market featuring a 260 BHP engine with 3 litres capacity.

With electric windows, Bilstein shocks, headlamp washers, air conditioning, tinted glass and leather interior, it was a more than a luxurious car. At first 500 units were produced, but it became so popular that they ended up selling 1000.
There were several features of this car which made a great impression on people, including large rear wing, and large tyres which came with wide wheels.

By the year 1978, many enhanced features were added to the model, for example an engine with capacity of 3.3 litres, and resultant 40 BHP more. Modifications were also made to the rear wing by removing 2 different grilles; the two were replaced with a slightly elevated, single big smooth surface; this slight elevation was made in order to create some room for an intercooler. 2nd energy crunch resulted in turbo being removed in America and Japan in the year 1979; only after around 7 years, that is, in the year 1986, the turbo made its appearance back in America.

In the year 1993, the engine’s capacity was increased to 3.6 litres. Another newer model made its appearance in the market in the year 1996. This model has an engine which could deliver 408 BHP, and has a six-speed gearbox. Less evocative rear wing, gives it a very elegant look. The wheel diameters are eighteen inches, and consist of 5 hollow spokes, which reduce the weight by around 20%. Front wing has air ducts, which makes braking system more powerful. In around two and a half seconds, you can stop the car running at a speed of 100 km/h; so that makes it a very safe automobile, relatively.
