de porsche tijdslijn van 1947 tot 2004

[deepee]

1947: The Type 360 by Porsche for Cisitalia is a single-seater with four-wheel drive. One car is built but never raced.
Design work commences on the 356, which blends elements of the Type 60, Type 114, and Type 360.

1948: By the time production of the 356 begins, its souped-up VW engine is moved behind the rear axle to provide
adequate luggage space and to permit use of the Beetle’s rear suspension

1953: Porsche’s first factory racer, the mid-engined 550, wins its debut race and dominates the 1500-cc class at
Le Mans. A long succession of mid-engined four-, six-, eight-, and twelve-cylinder Porsche racers follows

1963: The 356’s successor debuts with a longer wheelbase, chassis upgrades, nicer styling, two-plus-two seating,
and a new flat-six. The 911’s main carry-over is the rear-engine layout.

1969: After witnessing a decade of mid-engine success throughout the top levels of motorsports, Porsche and VW team
up to develop the hapless 914 sports car, which enjoys a life span of only six years.

1971: Porsche executes an about-face with two designs employing water-cooled front engines and rear-mounted transaxles.
The 924 bows in 1975, followed by the 928 in 1977; neither finds success, and the 911 lives on.

1982: The 944 upstages the 924 and earns a more enthusiastic following with its more potent, Porsche-designed engine.

1996: The Boxster is the first new mid-engined Porsche in 27 years. (A Cayman coupe arrives in 2006, based on the second-
generation 987 Boxster.)

2004: Instead of squandering effort invested in a stillborn Le Mans prototype, Porsche offers a few fortunate customers its
Carrera GT sports car powered by a mid-mounted 605-hp V-10.

Uuuuuh, dus als ik het goed begrijp is de 911 de enige luchtgekoelde Porsche geweest???

[deepee]

de modellen kregen ook toen al bij tijd en stond een update/upgrade. zo werd de 928 tussen 1977 en 1995 gefabriceerd en kennen we volgende versies (tnx wikipedia). het verschil tussen deze versies zal je als kind mss niet zo opgevallen zijn ?

Bedankt voor de info Deepee.
Wat mij verbaast is de ouderdom van de 924, 944, en 928 omdat die samen met de 911 uiteraard, toch heel stevig in mijn “jeugdgeheugen” zitten.
En ik ben van 74. Of gingen de modellen toen gewoon langer mee dan nu?
