A beautiful Porsche 911 F model, shown here as the highly sought-after 2.4-liter S model with 190 PS. The 911 S with the 2.4-liter engine is one of the most sought-after versions today. It was the first 911 to feature a front spoiler as standard equipment. The vehicle offered here is a German first-registration model that underwent an extremely elaborate and extensive frame-off restoration in 2012 by a German Porsche specialist. During this process, the car was completely disassembled and rebuilt. The engine was also upgraded to 2.7-liter RS specification. The car continues to fascinate to this day, in every respect! The engine, the chassis, the delicate bodywork—for many fans, this model represents Porsche in its purest form!

Porsche 911: A Piece of Automotive Heritage: This Porsche 911 is the successor to the Porsche 356 and was unveiled in 1963 at the IAA in Frankfurt am Main, where it was initially presented as the 901. With the 911, Porsche continued its tradition of marketing all vehicles under their internal development numbers. The 911 represented a major leap forward in development compared to the Porsche 356 of that time. This applies to the entire vehicle design and, in particular, to the engine. The model designation “901” had to be abandoned because Peugeot had already secured the rights to all three-digit numbers with a “0” in the middle. The car was larger and also more spacious inside than the 356. The windows were larger, providing better all-around visibility, which contributed to greater traffic safety. The wheelbase was lengthened, allowing for a more comfortable ride in the 1960s than in the previous model. The trunk, which is located at the front of the Porsche 911, also grew in size. It is said that when designing the car’s body, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche also made it a requirement that it be able to accommodate at least one set of golf clubs, as the typical Porsche clientele felt this was lacking in the 356. The main criterion for the body was, above all, to achieve a high degree of visual similarity to the Porsche 356 of that time. Likewise, the rear-mounted engine was a fixed requirement specified in the body developers’ specifications. Together with Erwin Komenda, who had already played a key role in the development of the Porsche 356, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche created the 911’s design, which remained virtually unchanged for nearly 30 years. The so-called “original model” itself was produced until 1972 in various trim levels (T, L, E, and S) and body styles (coupé and, starting in 1966, the Targa). The T trim level stands for “Touring,” the entry-level 911 model. The L (1968) and E (1969–1973) variants stand for “Luxury” and “fuel-injected,” respectively, and were more powerful and better equipped than a 911 T. In the top-of-the-line Porsche 911 S, the “S” stands for “Sport.” The engine was, as with the 356, an air-cooled flat-six.Instead of the four cylinders in the previous model, the new model featured six cylinders with a displacement of 1,991 cm³ (2 liters). The reason for increasing the number of cylinders was, on the one hand, that the four-cylinder boxer engine of the Porsche 356 could no longer be further developed at an economically justifiable cost, and, on the other hand, the fact that a six-cylinder engine runs more smoothly and thus contributes to comfort. Power and displacement naturally increased steadily, so the specifications in the following paragraph apply only to the first production version from 1963–64: This engine produces 96 kW (130 PS) at 6,100 rpm. A dry-sump lubrication system was implemented to cool the engine and lubricate its moving parts. The engine also features a large cooling fan, which dominates the engine compartment visually. The fuel-air mixture is prepared by two Solex triple carburetors. During the model update, the 911’s displacement was first increased to 2.2 liters, later to 2,341 cm³ (2.4 liters), and in the Carrera RS even to 2,687 cm³ (2.7 liters), with a corresponding increase in power. The dashboard was redesigned compared to that of the 356 and adapted to the tastes of the 1960s. The position of the ignition key to the left of the steering column was retained. The position of the ignition key on the left has its roots in historic racing, where race cars were parked alongside the track at the start, and drivers first had to walk to their cars and then start them. Since a key positioned to the left of the steering wheel can be operated more quickly upon getting in, many race cars were equipped this way to save time. Porsche also wanted to establish a connection to motorsports for its production models. Behind the steering wheel of the Porsche 911 are five gauges. The tachometer dominates the center; to its left are the gauges for fuel level, engine temperature, and oil temperature/oil pressure. On the right side are the speedometer and the analog clock.
