Fifty Years of Porsche's Iconic 911
FEBRUARY 19, 2013Marco R. della Cava, Motoramic“The 911 changed everything for the company, so it’s rightly the icon,” says Pete Stout, editor-in-chief of Panorama, the magazine of the Porsche Club of America. “When you fire up a 911 and hear that overhead cam flat-six with its cooling fan whirring, that’s Porsche’s unique sound. The 911 has stayed true to itself, which is a rear-engined car that delivers more from less.”
Porsche is marking the 911’s 50th anniversary in a variety of ways, including sending a 1967 model on a five-continent tour stopping at a range of high-profile automotive events and races. There’s also a "50 Years of the Porsche 911" exhibit at the company’s gleaming museum in Zuffenhausen, near Stuttgart, as well as a forthcoming factory-published book called "911 x 911."Read more: Yahoo Autos
