Often said to be firstly named the Porsche 901, the name was later scrapped due to Peugeot having copyright over car model names which contain three numbers, with a zero in the middle. The Porsche had a name change to 911 before release in 1964. Replacing the Porsche 356, the beginnings of this long running classic proved to owe itself to the great styling of the car, and great performances in a number of races on a spectrum of driving surfaces. Finishing first in the Monte Carlo Rally and Targa Florio, the rear wheel drive Porsche 911 proved popular and many variations were produced which were of greater capacity and power. The comfortable and easy to drive sports car proved popular mainly due to the styling, but with a backed up pedigree on the track.

The 1991cc 6 cylinder 911 shared components with the lesser 912 model. The Porsche 911 had further variations of the 911 produced, namely the Targa top 911, an automatic 911 variation, an entry level 911, the more powerful 911S and the 911T which replaced the previous Porsche 912 model. The engine capacity was later increased to 2200cc across the 911 range, with the introduction of the C and D series in 1970
