 Porsche
The history of Porsche road cars is undoubtedly dominated by the history of the Porsche 911,
and its predecessor the 356. The flat-4 and then flat-6 engines, the rear engine position
(behind the rear axle) and, until the late 1990s, air-cooling, are all Porsche trade-marks.
Porsche tried front-mounted, water-cooled engines and rear wheel drive with the 924/ 944/
968 between 1975 and 1994, and with the V8 Porsche 928, 1977-1994, but the 911-line is held
to represent the classic Porsche. Our special interest here is with the 911-Turbo which
offers four wheel drive and with the 911 and 959 4WD rally cars.
