The Porsche 911 is a two-door high performance rear engine sports car introduced in September 1964 by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a rear-mounted flat-six engine and originally a torsion bar suspension. The car has been continuously enhanced through the years but the basic concept has remained unchanged. The engines were air-cooled until the introduction of the 996 series in 1998
At a staggering altitude of 6.734 meters above sea level, an unprecedented feat was achieved on December 2nd when accomplished racing driver Romain Dumas etched his name into the annals of automotive history. This remarkable accomplishment unfolded at the summit of the west ridge of the Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile, an awe-inspiring location that stands as the highest point any car has ever reached.
Porsche has always taken racing seriously, and the 911 record reflects this fact. From victories at world-renowned events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans to competition at club level, the 911 excels on the track.
When the first 911 rolled off the Porsche lines in 1963, no one could have predicted that it would continue to benefit from such a long production run. Although it has some competition with vehicles like the Corvette, the 911's long history is a lifelong source of appeal.
