One of the greatest rarities of the 964 generation came on the market in 1993. As the 964 RS had sold very well in Europe, it didn’t seem right for the Americans to come away empty-handed. Porsche remembered that the twentieth anniversary of the birth of the 911 Carrera RS in 1973 was just around…

It has become common practice to refer to the first generation of the Porsche 911, which rolled off the production line in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen between 1965 and 1973, as the F model or F series. The second generation, produced between 1974 and 1989, is referred to as the G model or G series.

The 41st International Motor Show in Frankfurt opened its doors on 12 September 1963. One of the main halls directly behind the entrance was the festival hall. This hall is still used today for concerts and events. The name “Festhalle” was fitting for the event, as the German automotive industry at least had plenty of…
To this day, the engine of the Porsche 993 is something very special. As the last air-cooled engine in the legendary nine-eleven, this unit is also the most mature of the entire model series. And even more remarkable, Ferry Porsche died on the very day that the last engine for the 993 was built in…
