information./p\r\npThe first 911 was an evolution of the
Volkswagen-derived Porsche 356. Conceived as a bigger four-seat
356, the 911 became an all-new car featuring a new and a brand-new
air-cooled, OHC flat-six, initially making 128 horsepower from
1,991cc. The styling was the work of Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi"
Porsche. It echoed the 356\'s familiar fastback silhouette, but it
turned out to be a timeless design/p\r\np classMsoNormal

color 333333;More than 820,000 Porsche 911s have been built, making
it one of the most successful sports cars in the world. For each of
its seven generations the engineers in Zuffenhausen and Weissach
have reinvented it, time and time again demonstrating to the world
the innovative power of the Porsche brand. Ferry Porsche best

drive on an African safari or at Le Mans, to the theater or through
New York City traffic. /span/p\r\npspan stylefont-size 11.0pt;

line from 1997 to 2005, represented a major turning point in the
history of the 911. It retained all the character of its classic
heritage, but was an entirely new automobile. This comprehensively
redesigned generation was the first to be driven by a water-cooled
boxer engine. Thanks to its four-valve cylinder heads it achieved
300 horsepower and broke new ground in terms of reduced emissions,
noise, and fuel consumption. Its most obvious exterior feature were
the headlights with integrated turn signals, at first controversial
but later copied by many other manufacturers. On the inside,
drivers experienced an entirely new cockpit. Driving comfort now
also played a greater role alongside the typical sporty
characteristics. With the 996 Porsche launched an unprecedented
product offensive with a whole series of new variations.
