The original 901 prototype that set the standard
The legendary RS models that made the little Porsche a dominant force on the world's racetracks
The infamous Turbo, the car that kept the performance flame alight during the dark, dismal decade of the 1970s
The fabled 959, the model that redefined the term "sports car"
The 993, last of the original air-cooled models
The 996, 997, and 991, the liquid-cooled cars that brought the 911 into a new millennium
Beyond telling the story of the cars, Porsche 911: 50 yearsalso spotlights the people behind them Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche, the son of legendary Porsche founder Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, who co-designed the instantly recognizable 911 shape; Peter W. Schutz, the Porsche CEO who saved the 911 from extinction; and Dr. Helmuth Bott, the engineering genius behind many of the groundbreaking technologies that have defined the 911, including fuel injection, turbocharging, and all-wheel-drive.
