Porsche celebrated its 70th anniversary on June 9 2018. This German automotive giant has had a long journey in producing sports cars, from a small scale to becoming one of the sports car icons throughout the world. Porsche also has a great reputation in car racing.
Of all the Porsches born in this world, the Porsche 944 Turbo model deserves to be placed at the top as the most beautiful car made. The 944 series was produced in 1982-1991. The 944 Turbo was produced from 1985 to 1991. This model uses a 2.5L front engine with rear drive wheels. The 944 Turbo engine is capable of producing 250bhp of power and can accelerate from 0-100 km per hour in less than 6 seconds. Such fast times were printed in the mid-1980s!
From this model the history of Porsche was born. The Porsche 356 was the first car built by Ferdinand Porsche and was produced from 1948 to 1965. This is a Porsche model with a timeless design.
Dr. Porsche took the philosophy of the bee (which he designed himself) and made a cool sports car after the second world war. Under the hood is a 35bhp engine that can take the Porsche 356 to speeds of 135 kilometers per hour.
The 901 was the first Porsche 911. Then why is it called 901? Well, that’s because the first batch of 911s were actually 901s until Peugeot objected regarding the trademark claimed by the French manufacturer. Peugeot registers all of their product trademarks with the number ‘0’ in the middle. Only 82 examples of the 901 were ever made and they are all extremely rare and sought after by Porsche collectors.
Seeing the Porsche 550 Spyder our memories will be brought to the figure of James Dean. It was in this car that the most popular Hollywood actor of his time died in an accident. The Porsche 550 Spyder is a legend in the auto racing community. This car was faster than the 356 model and was the first Porsche car with a rear engine (mid-engine range). The 550 Spyder is one of the most famous sports cars in the world today.
The 914 was the entry level Porsche at the time. This model also opens up a new market that allows more consumers to buy the Porsche brand. The 914 used the drivetrain from a Volkswagen Beetle and had a wedge-shaped body with a Targa roof. Although its existence was not very appreciated in its time, the 914 has become a favorite of fans around the world, especially those who like to take their cars to the race track every weekend visit us.
