The Porsche tractor design included a hydraulic coupling between engine and transmission; this distinctive feature of Porsche-Diesel engines was used in tractors until the last model produced in 1963. Engineers in the 1930s believed that farmers in those...
The evolution of the Porsche 911 into the 997 was more evolutionary than revolutionary as it was with its predecessor the 996. The exterior underwent a redesign, bringing back some of the styling elements of the old classic...

For 1959, Porsche introduced the 356B variant. Styling updates improved the look of the car while retaining an unmistakably Porsche character. In standard tune, the 1,582cc engine generated 60 hp while the 1600S was good for 75hp and...
In 1970, the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a “T”. Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better...
