On November 27th, the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 will celebrate its world premiere in Los Angeles - 55 years after the debut of the original 911 model.
This is a good reason to take a look back at the previous seven generations. The 911 entered its tenth year in 1973 - with the most far-reaching changes that Porsche had made to its successful model series so far. The Stuttgart-based car manufacturer used powerful turbo engines in its top model and a galvanized body for every vehicle. In addition, they launched a Cabriolet version of the 911 as well as the Speedster and the Targa. Its path to becoming an icon was already clearly laid.
