From Rags To Riches: The Evolution of the Porsche 911

Well actually the 911 never really came from rags; it was always a highly tuned precision crafted vehicle with a nod towards continuous development throughout the years. Introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1963 the original 911 had a price tag of $5,900 and about 130 horsepower produced by its now famous flat-6 engine. After several decades of constant improvements you can now pick up a top of the line 911 GT2 RS for about $249,000, producing 620 horsepower, still from a flat-6 cylinder engine… my how times have changed.
