The first generation 9 1 1
Code: 90 1/F series
Time: 1963- 1973
Price: 6490 USD (1964? 90 1)
Open a new era of 2.0L displacement sports car.
The familiar 86, BRZ, MX-5 and other small sports cars are actually not the beginning of the 2.0L sports car.
Ferrari, the father of 9 1 1, once said that he created Porsche 9 1 1 because there was no car on the market that could meet his needs, and what about his dream? In fact, a car is simply a sports car that looks just right in all aspects.
The 1960s, when 9 1 1 was born, was an era when it recovered from the quiet period after World War II and began to pursue passion.
At that time, there were both Lamborghini Mihura (4.0L? V 12？ 380 horsepower), and elegant and powerful Maserati? Ghibli? Spyder(4.7L？ V8？ 335 horses), the grumpy American is even in the Ford GT? Did you use 7.0L directly on the 40? Displacement.
These models are actually not reasonable enough for Feli.
Ignorant pursuit of data performance can not bring the ultimate driving experience, and sacrificing experience for the pursuit of data is not a sports car that Felipe thinks. So 2.0L 9 1 1 was born in 1963.
Although the engine of 9 1 1 looks shabby compared with Ferrari, Lamborghini and other manufacturers, in fact, both the displacement and the number of cylinders have been greatly improved compared with its predecessor 356.
1. 1L becomes 2.0L, and four cylinders become six cylinders. What remains unchanged is horizontally opposed engine and the concept of lightweight and streamlined car-making, which is the essence of 9 1 1 and continues to this day.
Second generation 9 1 1
Code name: G series
Time: 1973- 1989
Price: 14995 USD (1977? 9 1 1? s)
American regulations, creating safety 9 1 1
In fact, many new technologies have appeared in 9 1 1 generation. For example, the Carrera basic version has been upgraded from 2.0L to 3.2L, and at the same time, today's idol models such as Turbo and Speedster have appeared. But to be honest, these things basically belong to the normal development law of cars. 9 1 1 developed into G series, what impressed me most was the power of American automobile safety regulations.
From the original 90 1? The birth of Targa models and the appearance of front and rear bumpers with rubber expansion joints are actually due to the strict requirements of the United States for automobile safety.
The birth of Targa is Porsche's most pragmatic response to the American "convertible equals unsafe". With a 20-cm-wide roll cage and a detachable roof and B-pillar rear, the United States realized that a convertible can also be safe. The front and rear bumpers with rubber expansion joints are designed to meet the requirements that all new cars in the United States can withstand collisions without being hurt when moving forward and reversing at a speed of 8km/h, and the existence of such bumpers can compress 50mm without causing any damage to the main parts of the car. It is worth mentioning that this bumper is only the standard of American version 9 1 1.
Consider the reduction of safety configuration of some vehicles in China market, and China market is also the largest automobile market in the world. Why is this gap so big?
Third generation 9 1 1
Code: 964
Time: 1988- 1994
Price: 65000 USD (1989964)
The arrival of the four-wheel drive system is the real replacement.
Before the arrival of 964, although the 25-year history of 9 1 1 experienced the changes of two generations of vehicles, there were too many intersections between F series and G series, which did not change qualitatively, which directly led to the official failure to give G series a specific and accurate digital code. So strictly speaking, 964 can be regarded as the first real replacement in the history of 9 1 1.
In terms of design, the 964 has not changed much compared with the previous models, but 85% of the parts of the 964 are redesigned and developed under the seemingly familiar body.
The earliest four-wheel drive system applied to 9 1 1 originated from the technology on 959.
Although it was adopted for the first time, Porsche, which has been a blockbuster, was ahead of the whole era at that time, because its four-wheel drive system used electronic control and hydraulic devices to distribute power to each wheel.
The arrival of the four-wheel drive system, first, brought Carrera? 4 this model, the second is for the later idol products? Turbocharged? The appearance of "S" has laid a foundation for consumers with poor driving skills to enjoy the ultimate driving pleasure brought by 9 1 1.
In addition, since 1964, 9 1 1 began to use the Tiptronic automatic gearbox from Mercedes-Benz until the arrival of PDK.
The fourth generation 9 1 1
Code: 993
Time: 1993- 1998
Price: USD 38,000 (1995,993)
The end of air cooling is a classic forever.
This is probably the favorite model of Porsche die-hard powder all over the world.
In terms of appearance, 993 reinterprets the rest of the car body except for retaining the most essential DNA round lamp and side streamline of 9 1 1. For example, natural curve design and integrated bumper, window flush with the car body, wide tail with oblique taillights. Later, it turned out that such a design change was very successful.
The emergence and upgrading of LSA aluminum chassis has consolidated the position of 9 1 1 in the field of sports cars, and its comprehensive lightweight structure has brought greater stability and flexibility. This kind of chassis foundation has stronger dynamic performance. On the track version GT2 of Turbo, the output of 450 HP and 4. 1 sec are achieved.
Of course, the reason why many Porsche fans around the world collect the 993 is that it is the end of the 9 1 1 air-cooled era, equipped with the classic air-cooled six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine's previous generation 9 1 1, and adopts the 6MT gearbox with excellent feel for the first time, which is the best representative of the air-cooled era in automobile history.
The fifth generation 9 1 1
Code: 996
Time: 1997-2005
Price: $85,295 ($996 for the 2000 model)
The beginning of water cooling, the beginning of the future
Perhaps inspired by the changes in 993, or perhaps determined to bring a brand-new 9 1 1 to car fans all over the world, Porsche has made more radical improvements on 996 than 993, not only adopting a newly developed water-cooled engine, but also almost rewriting the most classic design.
The new engine gives full play to the advantages of water cooling, and the 24-valve 3.4L self-priming engine has been able to produce Turbo? The power output of 3.3 reaches 300 horsepower, and the engine of 3.6L rises to 320 or even 345 horsepower after the medium term.
In addition, an epoch-making system appeared on 996-Porsche carbon ceramic brake system PCCB, which not only made its weight 50% lighter than steel brake disc, but also had a service life of up to 300,000 kilometers.
Now 9 1 1, which represents the purest driving pleasure of Porsche? GT3 also appeared in 996.
However, there are so many 996' s, and it is still hard to call them classics. It is inevitable that the design of 9 1 1 has lost its essence.
Sixth generation 9 1 1
Code: 997
Time: 20/200412
Price: $79,236 (2007 Carrera? s)
Comprehensive personalized choice
9 1 1 has attracted the love of so many fans, and its extensive personalized selection has contributed.
For other brands, you can only agree with the choice of manufacturers, and there is no other way. There is also 9 1 1. As long as you agree with the design of 9 1 1, everything else can be said.
In the 997 generation, Porsche has as many as 24 different models only in terms of vehicle selection. From the hard top? Coupe? Arrive? Targa, convertible? Convertible? Or? Speedster, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, standard body or wide body, naturally aspirated or turbocharged engine, GTS, GT3, GT3? RS、GT2、GT2？ RS, there are only 9 1 1 that you can't expect and can't do.
On the technical level, the 997.2, which was redesigned in the medium term, replaced Tiptronic with PDK dual-clutch gearbox, which opened the myth of PDK infinite ejection; In-cylinder direct injection and variable geometry turbocharger make the power output of turbine soar to 500 HP. S even reached 530 horsepower; GT2 reached the peak of turbocharging at that time, with the rear wheel driving 620 horsepower, which directly left it with a proud record of 7 minutes 18 second in newberg (Lamborghini is the fastest production car now? Avantador？ SVJ？ 6 minutes 44 seconds 97, followed by 99 1.2? GT2？ RS, 6 minutes 47 seconds 3).
Of course, for the fans of 9 1 1, I think the most surprising thing for this generation must not be these, but that after the failure of the first generation of models, Porsche finally made the return of 9 1 1. ?
Seventh generation 9 1 1
Code: 99 1
Time: 20 1 1-20 19
Price: 104395 USD (20 14 Carrera? s)
Million, frog king, turbine
In the last chapter of 9 1 1 history, I chose to explain 99 1 with three words: million, frog king and turbine.
"Million" refers to the most important car of this generation-Yu? 20 17? Year? 5? Month? 1 1? The/kloc-0.000 millionth car rolled off the assembly line in Zuwenhausen on 24th? 9 1 1, what is this classic Irish green souvenir? 450? Horsepower has been collected by Porsche. Of course, this series is not only preserved in museums, but also appears in various major Porsche events and exhibitions. If I remember correctly, this 9 1 1 should have been to all continents except Antarctica by now.
"Frog King" naturally refers to 9 1 1? GT2？ Ruby. As the flagship model of 9 1 1, it has an incredible 700 horsepower and a top speed of over 340km/h, making it the fastest 9 1 1 in history. After the release, I couldn't help but go straight to Xinbei, breaking the record of mass production cars at that time. It's just that Rambo next door didn't give me noodles, and it didn't take long to break up with SVJ.
"Turbine", which is simpler and has no other meaning, is the turbine inside the turbine engine. After that (99 1.2), 9 1 1? Turbines are no longer lonely. Carrera is all turbines. Although it seems a pity that it is not self-priming, the slowest 9 1 1 can break 100 in 4 seconds. Why ride a bike? Of course, the comprehensive personalized selection mentioned in 997 is not invalid, because if you still want to suck yourself, you can look at GT3. 9 1 1 The maximum displacement in history is 4.0L, and the self-priming power is 520 HP, which is enough for fun. Moreover, GT3 is the 9 1 1 road model with the most racing technology.
At this point, the history of 9 1 1 is reviewed here. You may think, why not 992?
This is a historical chapter, which belongs to retrospect. 992, which belongs to the present and the future, needs to be understood and prospected. Of course, if you are lucky, you can buy it. So, if you want to know more about 992 and 9 1 1, please continue to follow us.
