911 GT2

Lighter and more powerful than the 911 Turbo on which it is based, the Porsche 911 GT2 is the ultimate Porsche model for 2003. With 456 horsepower (SAE), the GT2 can accelerate from a standing start to 62 mph (100 km/h) in about four seconds and can achieve a top speed of 195 mph (315 km/h) on the test track.

The biggest weight saving over the 911 Turbo is achieved by making the GT2 a rear-wheel drive sports car (the 911 Turbo is all-wheel drive). Other weight-saving measures include fitting sport seats in front and deleting the rear seats and replacing the spare tire wîth a tire repair kit which includes a bottle of sealing foam, an air compressor and a pressure gauge.

The 911 GT2 is the first Porsche to be fitted as standard wîth the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB®). The ceramic composite discs weigh 50-percent less than comparable metal discs, reducing unsprung weight by a significant 36.6 lb. (16.6 kg) and thus enhancing suspension response.

In addition to weighing more than 200 pounds less than the 911 Turbo, the 911 GT2 has a more powerful version of Porsche's 3.6-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder 'boxer' engine. For the 911 Turbo, the twin turbochargers boost airflow into the engine to 11.76 psi. But for the 911 GT2, those turbochargers spin 14.5 psi into the engine. The GT2 engine produces 456 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and sustained 457 lb.-ft of peak torque from 3,500-4,500 rpm.

The only transmission available is a modified version of the 911 Turbo six-speed manual. A special asymmetric limited-slip differential helps stabilize the car in curves under load changes.

Compared to the 911 Turbo, redesigned air intake scoops provide additional cooling air. Porsche also refined the GT2's aerodynamic characteristics to produce greater downforce. A one-piece fixed-design rear wing replaces the two-piece automatic-deploying spoiler of the 911 Turbo and allows six degrees adjustment for racetrack driving.

The GT2 also benefits from chassis modifications that come directly from Porsche's road racing experience. Suspension modifications include racing springs that lower the center of gravity by 0.78-inch (20 mm), adjustable anti-roll bars and a wide range of suspension adjustment to accommodate racing tires. The front alloy wheels measure 18 x 8.5-inch and mount 235/40 ZR18 tires. The rear alloy wheels measure 18 x 12-inch and mount 315/30 ZR18 tires.

The GT2 retains all current Porsche safety technology, including dual front airbags plus the Porsche Side Impact Protection System, which includes boron-steel door reinforcement beams, energy-absorbing door panels and door-mounted side airbags. The 30-liter capacity sidebags provide additional protection for the chest, head, and pelvis.

Although the 911 GT2 deletes some of the luxury content from the 911 Turbo, its standard equipment includes power windows and an anti-theft system wîth transponder key, immobilizer, alarm plus central locking wîth remote entry. The GT2 has a standard digital radio wîth in-dash CD player. Automatic climate control and cruise control and natural leather trim are available as options.

The Porsche 911 Targa expands on the concept of the previous model (1996-1997), which introduced a large power-operated sliding glass roof that slides under the rear window.

The Targa's glass roof offers a sky view through more than 16 square feet (1.5 square meters) of glass.

Operated by two silent electric motors, the 911 Targa's sliding roof panel opens the roof by nearly 20 inches (0.5 m), providing an opening of nearly 700 sq. inches (0.45 sq. m.), nearly twice the size of the sunroof opening in the 911 Carrera Coupe. A wind deflector reduces turbulence, and a cloth sunblind automatically extends out beneath the roof panel when closed.

A hinged rear glass panel provides convenient access to the rear luggage compartment, which offers 8.1 cubic feet of space (230 liters), compared to 7.1 cu. ft. (210 l.) in the 911 Carrera® Coupe.

The first 911 Targa, named for the Sicilian Targa Florio road race (1906-1973), came to North America in 1967. The original 911 Targa presented a truly innovative approach to open-air motoring wîth its often-imitated removable roof panel design. Popularity of the 911 Cabriolet through the 1980s and 1990s led Porsche to design the sliding-glass roof concept for the new 911 Targa.

While previous Targas were based on the body architecture of a convertible, this newest generation is built on the 911 Carrera Coupe platform, bringing additional strength and structure for superior rigidity.

All 911 models have a strengthened body structure, and the 911 Targa adds a unique upper body structure wîth specially reinforced A-pillars and roof rails. Additional safety technology includes a patented crumple-zone body structure, seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, dual front airbags, door-mounted side airbags, and anti-lock brakes (ABS).

The optional Porsche Stability Management system (PSM) can detect a loss of grip at the front or rear and reduce instability by applying braking to individual wheels and, if necessary, altering engine power.

The 911 Targa shares its Turbo-inspired styling and 315-horsepower (SAE), 3.6-liter engine wîth the 911 Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and 911 Carrera 4S models.

Porsche's patented VarioCam® Plus valve timing and lift system boosts torque to 273 lb.-ft. at 4,250 wîth at least 236 lb.-ft available from 2,500-7,000 rpm. The 911 Targa can accelerate from zero-to-62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.2 seconds.

Porsche Carrera 4S

The 2003 Porsche Carrera 4S combines the 3.6-liter, 315-horsepower (SAE) Carrera engine wîth the body, all-wheel drive chassis and feature content of the 911 Turbo, wîth only some minor design detail differences between the two models:

The front spoiler differs slightly; the Carrera 4S retains the automatic-deploying rear spoiler from the 911 Carrera instead of the Turbo's two-piece wing; the Carrera 4S deletes the Turbo's side intake ducts because these are only required to supply air to the turbo intercoolers; the C4S gets its own glass-reinforced plastic rear decklid wîth a reflector strip connecting the taillights.

The 3.6-liter engine – also shared wîth the 911 Carrera, Carrera Cabriolet, Carrera 4 Cabriolet and 911 Targa – produces 273 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,250 rpm, wîth at least 236 lb.-ft. available from 2,500-7,000 rpm. The engine uses VarioCam® Plus valve timing and lift system adapted from the 911 Turbo to help boost torque.

The 911 Carrera 4S can accelerate from zero-to-62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.1 seconds. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. The advanced Tiptronic® S five-speed automatic, which allows manual control, is available as an option. The all-wheel drive system uses a viscous multi-plate clutch mounted behind the front differential, sending five-to-40 percent of available torque forward depending on traction and power applied.

The standard solid-spoke aluminum alloy Turbo wheels measure 18 x 8 inches in front and mount 225/40 ZR18 tires; the 18 x 11-inch rear wheels mount 295/30 ZR18 tires. The Carrera 4S shares the 911 Turbo suspension and 13-inch vented, cross-drilled four-wheel disc brakes.

The standard Porsche Stability Management system (PSM) can detect a loss of grip at the front or rear and reduce instability by applying braking to individual wheels and, if necessary, altering engine power.

Safety technology includes a patented crumple-zone body structure, new seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, dual front airbags, door-mounted side airbags, and anti-lock brakes (ABS).

The 911 Carrera 4S shares the additional standard luxury content of the 911 Turbo, which includes fully power-adjustable leather seats for the driver and passenger (with driver's side memory), programmable remote entry and security system wîth alarm and immobilizer, and a digital audio system wîth an in-dash CD player.

The fastest convertible 911 ever produced

For the first time in 14 years the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is back on the market wîth even more power and outstanding performance. Acceleration from 0 - 62 mph is achieved in a mere 4.3 seconds, sprinting on to 100mph in just 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph, making it the quickest open-top 911 ever to be produced.

Maximum output of the 3.6 litre flat-six power unit is boosted by two exhaust gas turbochargers, producing 420bhp (309kW) at 6000rpm. Maximum torque is equally impressive, delivering a constant 413 lb-ft (560Nm) all the way from 2700 - 4600 rpm.

The high-performance power unit also incorporates VarioCam Plus, combining Porsche's VarioCam intake-side camshaft adjustment wîth an intake-side valve lift changeover system. The system is made up of four valves per cylinder, infinitely controlled camshaft adjusters and switching valve tappets. The result is optimum power and torque management and the reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

Like the Coupé the 911 Turbo Cabriolet comes wîth a four-wheel drive system as standard, complete wîth viscous multi-plate coupling, which conveys 5 per cent of the engine's power to the front wheels in normal road conditions and up to 40 per cent on wet or slippery surfaces.

Active safety is further enhanced wîth Porsche Stability Management (PSM) which also comes as standard. PSM works to stabilise the car both longitudinally and laterally, intervening wîth the engine management and brake system when the car exceeds its maximum limits.

The outstanding braking system matches the 911 Turbo Coupé, having four-piston fixed-calliper brakes, internally ventilated, cross-drilled brake discs measuring 330 mm in diameter front and rear. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are available as an option.

The bodyshell of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is based on the structure of the Coupé wîth special reinforcements and strengthening body elements to replace the stabilising effect of a fixed roof. The Cabriolet comes wîth reinforced side-sills featuring body panels and elements double in thickness, additional junction plates and shaft reinforcements behind the B-pillar. The 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the first Porsche sports car to use ultra-strong DP600 steel at this point in the interest of maximum strength and stiffness, making it one of the stiffest open-air structures within the 911 series.

The car's soft-top is constructed from high-quality fabric, featuring Porsche's revolutionary zigzag folding mechanism, and can be opened and closed while driving at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h). The roof operates at the touch of a button, taking a mere 20 seconds to fold away beneath the compartment lid.

The legendary Porsche 911 is the longest production run sports car of all time. It was conceived as a successor for the highly successful Porsche 356 and from the start had high aspirations for success. Ferry Porsche's son, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, designed the 911. When it went into production it was labeled the 901 but Peugeot had claims to the name, so to avoid infringing on their naming scheme, it was changed to 911. As a result, only a few Porsches used the 901 name.

901

The Porsche 901, the forerunner for the famous 911, was the first 'new' vehicle Porsche had ever produced.
Prior to the 901, there was the 356. This vehicle had lived a relatively long lifespan and was nearing its end, both in mechanical capabilities and in appeal. Many variations of the 356 had appeared during its production-run, most improvements where mechanical with very few visual improvements. Albeit, the 356 was a very beautiful car and improvements to its design were not necessary.

In the Mid-1950's, the Porsche company began producing prototypes for the successor of the 356. The result was a vehicle built on the same unitary structure used for the 356 but with a new front suspension, front disc brakes, and a six-cylinder engine.

The Porsche 901 was introduced to the public in 1963 at the Frankfurt Motorshow. The silhouette body was available only in fixed-head coupe form. In 1967 a Targa bodystyle became available featuring a removable center roof section. The 1991 cc flat-six engine was air-cooled. It's 2-litre capacity was the same as its predecessor. The six-cylinder engine was chosen over the four to allow more room for growth and improvement in the future. Two Solex carburetors aided in the 130 horsepower output and was capable of a 130 mph top speed.

912

The Porsche 912 was similar in design to the 911 and eased the transition from the 356 to the 911. In comparison with the 911, the 912 had fewer amenities, less power, and weighed about 250 pounds less. A 5-speed gearbox was matted to a detuned 356-based 4-cylinder engine that produced 64 horsepower. The engine was mounted in the rear and powered the rear transaxle. Disc brakes and independent suspension with torsion bars gave the car excellent and impressive handling. The Recaro seats kept the driver planted and the rack-and-pinion steering was very responsive. For an additional cost, the owner could have air-conditioning, rear window wiper, halogen fog lights, electric sunroof, and/or three-point seatbelts.
The 912 came in both the coupe and targa flavors with the coupe being the more popular. About 2562 of the 34,959 912's were targas.

The 912 was offered to the public in 1965 and stayed in production until 1969 when the mid-engined 914 was introduced. Due to its low cost, it easily outsold the more powerful 911's during the first few years. In
1967, the 912 was awarded Car and Driver's 'Readers Choice' for its class. During that same year a 912, driven by Sobieslaw Zasada of Poland, won the European Rally Championship.

At the end of the 914 production in late 1975, a version of the 912, dubbed the 912E, was introduced. Internally, the vehicle was labeled the Type 923. The 'E' stood for 'Einspritzung', in German meaning 'fuel injection'. It was powered by a 2-liter, 914-derived fuel-injected engine and had had Bosch L-jetronic fuel injection and an air pump. It used the 911 body, but has smaller wheels and tires and non-vented brake rotors. The fuel-efficient engine, rising fuel costs, and lower speed limits made the 912E a safe-buy. After 2099 examples were produced, the 924 entered the scene. The 912E was the last air-cooled four-cylinder vehicle produced by Porsche.

During its production run that include the 912 and 912E, nearly 35,000 examples were produced. It had achieved victory in the racing world, served as European police cars, and was featured in the movie 'Spy Games' staring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.

911 Targa

In 1965 the Targa was introduced. This was an open version of the 911. The Name Targa came from a road race in Sicily named 'Targa Florio'. Targa also meant 'Shield' used to describe the rollbar. The rear window could fold down while the panel between windshield and rollbar could be lifted off creating an open version of the 911.

911 S

In 1966 the 911 S was introduced as a better equipped and more powerful version of the standard 911. It featured engine modifications that resulted in 30 extra horsepower. The chassis was modified and bigger brakes were installed. An extra 5 pounds was saved from each corner of the car by using Fuch alloy wheels.

To increase sales, the 911 T was added to the line-up in 1967. This version had a de-tuned six-cylinder engine and produced 110 horsepower. It appealed to many buyers due to its attractive price, selling at a reduced cost from the base 911. Also in 1967, the 911S received ventilated disc brakes on all four corners.

In 1968, the Porsche 911S was no longer being exported to the United States due to new emissions and government standards and regulations. Porsche introduced a 911 L as a replacement which was basically a 911 S without the engine modifications. In 1969, the 911 S was once again allowed into the United States.

In 1969 the 911 E, the base model, was available with 140 horsepower for the United States and 160 horsepower for the European market. The 911 T had 125 horsepower on tap from the six-cylinder engine while the 911 S was available in the United States with 170 horsepower. The European version featured even more horsepower, rated at 190. A five-speed manual gearbox was introduced.

In 1970 the engine bore was enlarged by 4mm and increased the engine capacity to 2165 cc. This made the six-cylinder engine more powerful. The 911T was rated at 125 horsepower, the 911 E was rated 155 horsepower while the 911S was now producing 180 horsepower.

During the 1970 model year, a performance version of the 911S was created by removing amenities and using light-weight material wherever possible. Aluminum was used on the bumper and engine-lid, the interior received light-weight seats, and the door handles were replaced with cords. The result was a 1840 pounds street legal race car.

In 1972 a spoiler was standard on the 911 S but was optional on the 911 E and 911 T. In 1973, due to popularity, the spoiler became standard on all 911 models. The stroke of the engine was increased giving the engine a 2.4 liter displacement.

Carrera RS

In 1973, Porsche wanted to compete in GT competition. In order to qualify, the manufacturer had to satisfy homologation rules for the Group 4 GT class that stated that 500 examples needed to be produced and sold to the public. Porsche knew that it would be difficult to sell 500 race cars so they built street legal race cars and kept the sticker price low. The RS was an immediate popular and at the end of the production run, 1636 examples were produced. Due to the successful sales, the RS was reclassified as a Group 3 series-production GT which required at least 1000 examples be produced.

The RS was stripped of nonessential amenities to save weight. A thin-gauge body steel and fiberglass was used for most of the vehicles but the supply ran short and at least 300 cars were outfitted with the normal-weight body parts. When compared with the stock 911S, the RS using the thin-gauge steel weighed 330 pounds less.

Wider aluminum wheels, Bilstein shocks, and modified sway bars gave the RS extra handling advantages. A rear spoiler was molded into the engine cover giving the RS the nickname 'ducktail'. This gave the vehicle extra down-force at speed and aided in stability. Other distinguishing features of the RS was its name painted, typically in green, black, red or blue, above the rocker panels. The engine was a modified version of the Porsche 911 2.4 engine. It featured a bigger bore that resulted in greater displacement and horsepower.

Carrera RSR 3.0

The RSR 3.0 had 20 extra horsepower than the 2.7 version. It had a large front spoiler, large rectangular air intake, 9 inch rear wheels, and 8 inch front wheels. Since the thing-gauge body steel supply had been depleted and larger items had been placed on the RSR vehicle, the vehicle weighed 180 kg more than the 2.7. All this meant that the RSR was not much quicker than the 2.7. However, it did have better road-handling due to the wider tires.

During its production lifespan only 109 examples were produced with 60 outfitted as road going machines.

911 Weissach

The 911 SC Weissach, produced only in 1980, was a limited edition design and only 400 units were constructed (Some sources states 406. In either case, a small amount were constructed and even fewer are known to exist today). All were sold to the United States. 200 were painted in Pongee Beige Metallic while the remaining 200 received a metallic charcoal gray color. The interior had red/burgundy carpet and beige leather seats. An RS wing was placed in the rear while the front received a new spoiler. All of the 911 SC Weissach's were coupes, had normally aspirated engines, and were fitted with the 903 body. They were sold at a price of $32,000, a high price at the time.

911

In 1973 the 911E, 911T, and 911S used a 2.4 liter six-cylinder engine. In 1974 the Carrera name was added to the line-up and represented the performance option. The 911S became the middle model with its performance and trim equivalent to the former 911E.

The Carrera was distinguished by its many exterior components colored in black. For example, the door handles, wipers, and window frames were black.

In 1974 the Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced and is credited as being the world's first production turbocharged sports car. Using a 3.0 liter engine and equipped with a turbocharger, it was capable of producing 290 horsepower.

In 1976, the Carrera was outfitted with the 3.0 liter engine and produced 200 horsepower.

In 1978, there were only two options available for the 911, the Turbo and the SC. The 911 SC used the 3.0 liter engine because it was more reliable and offered more opportunity for tuning in the future. the 3.0 liter engine was rated at 180 horsepower. The 2.7 liter engine was no longer used. When compared to the 1977 Carrera 3.0, the SC was more luxurious but had less horsepower. The luxury items added to the overall weight of the vehicle which decreased the performance. Still, the 911 SC was an extremely popular car. The 911 Turbo received a 3.3 liter engine and was able to produce 300 horsepower.

In 1979 the 911 SC's engine received modifications increasing the horsepower rating to 188 while improving fuel economy by 10 percent.

In 1980 the entire 911 model-line receive extra power except those slated for exportation to the United States. The 911 SC was now producing 204 horsepower.

At the 1981 Frankfurt Auto Show Porsche introduced a four-wheel drive cabriolet version of the 911. A year later, the cabriolet went on sale as optional equipment on the 911 SC. It was the first cabriolet for Porsche since the 356.

In 1984 the 911 SC 3.0 engine was replaced by the new Carrera with a 3.2 engine. The 911 Tubro and 911 Carrera were the only bodystyles available however could be ordered in coupe, cabriolet or Targa options. The Carrera was better than its 911 SC predecessor. It offered more luxury and power, and better brakes. The 3.2 Liter engine was used until the 1989 model year. It was replaced by a 3.6 liter version.

The 1988 the turbo became standard with a five-speed manual gearbox.

In 1989 Porsche introduced the Carrera 3.2 Speedster. The top could fold to the back and be placed beneath a fiberglass cover. The Speedster was void of most electrical options including power seats which made it lighter than the standard car. In total, there were 2065 Speedsters production, 1894 with the turbo-look. The Turbo look gave the vehicle an aggressive stance but it also added weight to the vehicle. It was, however, a very popular option.

911 Carrera CS

The limited-edition 911 Carrera CS, meaning Club Sport, was introduced in 1987. This version was meant for the race track. This light-weight version was void of amenities and equipped with only the essential items. The CS is distinguished from other 911's by its red wheels and bright graphics. Most were painted in 'Grand-Prix' white and all were coupes, except for one specially-built Targa. At the end of the Carrera CS production run, 340 examples were produced.

Carrera 2 and 4

In 1989 the 911 was given a 3.6 liter engine, new suspension, new transmission, self-adjusting spoiler, plastic aerodynamic bumpers, and new brakes. It was over 80% different when compared to the previous year. The big news for this year was the introduction of the Carrera 4, a four-wheel drive version of the 911.

The 1989 Porsche 911 received major improvements in the performance and handling department. At speeds greater than 50 mph, the rear spoiler would fold out and improving stability. The bigger brakes gave the 911 better stopping power while the suspension held the car in place as it would go through sharp turns.

In 1990 the Carrera 2 and Carrera 4 could be purchased in Cabriolet, Targa and Coupe body-styles. A Tiptronic transmission was introduced which is a gearbox that does not require a clutch. The Tiptronic allows the driver to shift manually or have the system automatically shift.

Carrera RS

In 1990 Porsche introduced the Carrera RS series. It featured a modified version of the Carrera engine now producing 260 horsepower. It had Recaro seats and light-weight material. The interior was void of non-essential items. An aluminum hood, light-weight doors and windows, and various other methods and materials were used to make the vehicle as light as possible. There was an RS touring option which included a few items to make the vehicle more road worthy. In total 2051 Carrera RS models were created with 76 being equipped with the touring option.

Carrera RS America

In 1993, Porsche created a light-weight, limited edition, performance version of the 911 Carrera. It was dubbed the RS America. The year 1993 was selected because it commemorated the 20th Anniversary of the 911 Carrera RS. 'RS' is German for 'Renn Sport' or 'Race Sport'.

The Carrera RS was conceived in 1973 but only available to the European market. The United States had strict safety, emission, and government regulations that made it impossible for the original RS to be sold in America. The 1993 Carrera RS was built to satisfy European regulation while a limited were built for the American regulations. The ones that made it to America were labeled 'RS America.'

The RS America was lightweight, contained little luxury features, and highly-modified performance options. The M030 sports suspension package, 17 inch wheels, larger diameter front stabilizer bar, and modified shock absorbers were just a few of the modifications to the 911. By using weight reduction, refinements in the steering, suspension, tires and wheels, the 911 RS America was a high performance racing car.

The RS in America was very successful. What was only intended to last for 1993, rolled into the 1994 model year. Vehicles that were sold during 1993 have 'PS' in their VIN numbers, while the 1994 versions have 'RS'. The 1994 models have rear seats while the 1993 versions have dual-storage bins.

The RS is distinguished from other 911's by a 'RS' decal located in front of each rear wheel well and an RS America rear deck lid emblem. A large spoiler, commonly referred to as a 'whaletale', was fixed to the rear of the vehicle. Various versions of the 911 had a spoiler that was motor-driven and deployed and stowed at various vehicle speeds.

993

In 1994 the next generation of the Porsche 911 was introduced and only available in coupe form. Internally it was dubbed the 993. Aesthetically and mechanically, the vehicle was different from its previous versions. The upright headlights were removed; it received a front wing, wider fenders, 16 inch wheels, and new bumpers. Under the hood, the 3.6 liter engine was modified to produce 260 horsepower. A six-speed manual gearbox was all new. The chassis size was increased giving 20% extra interior room. Major improvements were done to the interior giving it new seats, new steering wheel, and making the console, buttons and gauges more driver-friendly.

In 1995 a Targa was introduced. But the big news was in 1996 when a Turbo, Carrera 4S, RS, and RS Club Sport became available.

996

In 1998 the next generation of the Porsche 911, the 996 was introduced. A 296 horsepower, water-cooled engine was all new. The new engine was more powerful, fuel efficient, and offered better performance even though it was smaller in size. The length of the car was increased; a new suspension, headlights, and styling modifications have been adapted throughout the vehicle.

Shortly after the introduction of the next generation 911, a cabriolet version became available. Instead of the top being folded on-top of the bodywork, it now folded into it.

Conclusion

Since its introduction in 1963 to the present, the 911 has stood the test of time both on the race track and in owner's garages. It is one of the few designs that have had such a long history. It has been offered in over 50 different forms including rear wheel, 4wd, cabriolet, Targa, coupe, Speedsters, light weight, club sport, RS, anniversary editions, limited editions, and multiple other options, designs, and features. The 911 has set and raised the bar in terms of technology, performance, design, and handling.
