The original Porsche 911 was introduced in Autumn 1963 and
manufactured until 1989. It was succeeded by a modified version. br/>internally referred to as Porsche 964. but still sold as Porsche
911. as are current models. Mechanically. the 911 was notable for
being rear-engined and air-cooled and. from its inception. the 911
was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for
racing. rallying and other types of competition. The original 911
series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever. br/>especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful
911-derived 935 which won the 24 Hours du Mans and other major
sports cars races outright against prototypes. The 911T was the
first Porsche to receive the new Bosch K-Jetronic or CIS engine
(continuous injection system) from January 1973 onwards. Often
referred to as 1973 1/2. these T models produce a 140bhp and also
boast the newer type standard H pattern (915) gearbox which. in
tandem. provide a smooth yet powerful engine and are great fun to
drive.
