911 Nomenclature
Although Porsche internally changes the headings for its models, all 911 models were and are currently sold as a "911". The headings below use Porsche's internal classifications:
- Porsche 911 (1963–1989)
- Porsche 930 a turbo version of the original 911
- Porsche 964 (1989–1994)
- Porsche 993 (1993–1998)
- Porsche 996 (1999–2005) all-new body and water-cooled engines
- Porsche 997 (2005–2012)
- Porsche 991 (2012–Present)
The series letter (A, B, C, etc.) is used by Porsche to indicate the revision for production cars. It often changes annually to reflect changes for the new model year. The first 911 models are the "A series", the first 993 cars are the "R series".
Not all of the Porsche 911 models ever produced are mentioned here. The listed models are notable for their role in the advancements in technology and their influence on other vehicles from Porsche.
