Overview

The captivating story of seventy-five Porsche 911 models, from 1963 to 2025. When Porsche introduced the very first 911—originally designated Type 901—at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, it immediately captivated enthusiasts across the globe. Six decades and eight generations later, the 911 remains the definitive symbol of the marque, celebrated for its unmistakable silhouette, remarkable versatility, thrilling performance, and pioneering technology. Beyond the series-production cars, Porsche has always pursued the art of creating the extraordinary: limited editions, special commissions, and competition-bred machines. These are the 911s that stand apart—the truly exceptional models. Among them are the 2.2 ST, which claimed a double victory at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, and the legendary 1972 Carrera RS, often hailed as the greatest Porsche ever built, its iconic ducktail spoiler etched forever in automotive history. Some rarities exist as single, unrepeatable creations, like the Carrera S 1 Million, crafted to honor the millionth 911 to leave Zuffenhausen. In this volume, renowned Porsche authority Sylvain Reisser presents the full panorama of these extraordinary machines—from the pioneering 911 R of 1963 to the exclusive Spirit 70 of 2025. Seventy-five singular models, each a milestone in its own right, come together here to tell the story of how the 911 became not just a sports car, but a legend—and the most collectible Porsche of all time.
