Porsche 911 - Die luftgekühlten Serien- und Rennfahrzeuge
In den zwischenzeitlich weit über 50 Jahren seiner Modellgeschichte ist der Porsche 911 immer und immer wieder noch ein Stückchen besser geworden. Zahllose kleine und grosse Entwicklungsschritte haben den Sportwagen aus Zuffenhausen immer näher an die angestrebte Perfektion herangeführt.
Jörg Austen, der bei Porsche lange Jahre in der Getriebeentwicklung und später zuständig für die Technik-Schulung war, vollzieht in dieser höchst übersichtlichen Chronik den technischen Werdegang des Evergreens.
Akkurat stellt er Strassen- und Rennfahrzeuge der luftgekühlten Ära einander gegenüber und listet auf, was sich von Modelljahr zu Modelljahr änderte.
