The original Porsche 911was a luxury sports car made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. The distinctive and durable design was introduced in autumn 1963 and built until 1989. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear engined and air-cooledlike its creator's other long lived car, the VW Beetle.

The earliest editions of the 911 had a 130 hp flat-6 engine in the "boxer" configuration like the 356 which it replaced. The car had four seats although the rear seats are very small, and the car is usually called a 2+2 rather than a four-seater.

In 1966 Porsche introduced the more powerful 911S, the engine's power raised to 160 hp. Alloy wheels from Fuchs, in a distinctive 5-leaf design, were offered for the first time.

In 1969 the B series was introduced: the wheelbase for all 911 and 912 models was increased from 2,211 to 2,268 millimetres, an effective remedy to the car's nervous handling at the limit. The overall length of the car did not change: rather, the rear wheels were relocated aft. Fuel injection arrived for the 911S and for a new middle model, 911E. A semi-automatic Sportomatic model, composed of a torque converter, an automatic clutch, and the four-speed transmission, was added to the product lineup.
