1964-1973 Porsche 911


  • Total voters
    138
  • Poll closed .
9 years covers a huge amount of development of the 911, from the basic 1964 128bhp, through the C, D, E, F, S, R & finally the RS with 210bhp. The difference between an early car and a '73 RS is light years!!

The 911 has broadly retained the same concept for over 50 years and always been at (or very close to) the top of it's class as a road car and in whatever class of motorsport it's entered. In principle, 'the 911' is SZ simply because it's the greatest sports car ever made, but some models within its lifespan may not individually be SZ!!!!

The beginning of Porsche's best known legacy.
The classics were definitely Sub-Zero.
New cars? Whilst great cars in their own rights, they don't have that same kind of "cool" factor.

Included in the nomination (but not listed in the OP, oddly) was a note saying that the RS is not being polled here because I really wanted to poll a body style.

So we can expect the RS to be polled too?

MADNESS!
 
A '64 911 and an RS are fairly obviously different to one another, even to the lay observer.

One has camp 70s stickers and a ducktail, the other doesn't. Which is cooler is a matter of taste.
