Generations

A rear-engined, air-cooled sports car launched in 1963 as a replacement for the 356, and never actually replaced since: every 911 built in the sixty years after it, water-cooled or not, has kept the same basic layout and the same name.[1] Markey covers two of its eight generations: the original air-cooled car of 1964–1989, which established the shape, the flat-six layout and the Targa roof; and the current 992, the seventh distinct generation, still recognisably the same idea with a twin-turbo flat-six and, on some models, mild-hybrid assistance. The five generations between them (964, 993, 996, 997 and 991) are not yet catalogued here.

Generations

Each generation is its own entry, with its own specifications and sources.
