The Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, better known to English speakers as the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was initially designated as the "Porsche 901", after its internal project number. Howeve...
The earliest editions of the 911 had an air-cooled, rear-mounted, 2.0 L (1,991 cc) 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) flat-six "boxer" engine, similar to the 356's four-cylinder 1.6 L unit. It was mated to a five-speed manual "Type 901" transmission. The car had 2+2 seating, though the rear was very small, also like the 356. The styling was largely by Ferdinan...
For MY 1970 the engines of all 911s were increased to 2,195 cc (2.195 L; 133.9 cu in).

This is universally known as the "2.4L" engine, despite its displacement being closer to 2.3 litres— perhaps to emphasize the increase over the 2.2 L...
The Carrera RS models, valued by collectors, are considered by many to be the greatest classic 911s of all time. RS stands for Rennsport in German, meaning "racing sport".

In 1974 the engine size was increased to 2,687 cc, giving an increase in torque. The use of K-Jetronic CIS Bosch fuel injectionin two of the three models in the line up— the 911 and 911S models, retaining the narrow rear wings of the old 2.4, now had a detuned version of the RS en...
Carrera 2.7 / G and H
The Carrera 2.7 was mechanically similar to the 1973 RS, inheriting its 210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp) MFI engine and still weighed the same at 1075 kg (2370 lb). It had the wide RS rear wings and also the ducktail for the 1974 model (except for the German market). It was available either as a coupé or a Targa. For 1976 a special run of 113 coupés with MFI were made. In addition, 30 MFI Targas with narrow rear wings were made for the Belgian Police. The US Carrera 2.7 was restricted to the 2.7 K-Jet...
The Carrera 3.0 was given the same diecast aluminium crankcase as the 930 or ’911 Turbo’. Its 3-litre engine had K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection. Power output was slightly down on the Carrera 2.7 at 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) although the 188 lb/ft of torque was now available at 4,200 rpm. Weight was up by 45 kg (99 lb) to 1,120 kg (2,469 lb). During it...
In 1974 Porsche introduced the first production turbocharged 911. Although called simply Porsche 911 Turbo in Europe, it was marketed as the Porsche 930 (930 being its internal type number) in North America. The body shape is distinctive, thanks to wide wheel-arches to accommodate the wide tires, and a large rear spoiler often known as a "whale tai...
Starting in MY 1978, the new 3.0 L 911 SC (2,994 cc) was now the second generation basic 911 model. It was in effect a Carrera 3 (known as a 911S in the United States) detuned to provide 180 PS (130 kW; 180 hp). The "SC" designation was reintroduced by Porsche for the first time since the 356 SC (as distinguished from the race-engined 356 Carrera)....
With the 911's future ensured, 1983 saw the launch of a replacement for the successful SC series. It was the MY1984 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. The 911 3.2 Carrera was the second iteration of the 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling with new brake, electronic and suspension ...
