Eberan van Eberhorst started working on project 356 in the year 1947. In the old sawmill in Gmünd Ferdinand Porsches son Ferry Porsche and Prof. The old Porsche company building in Stuttgart Germany was taken by the allies, the personnel had to manufacture gardening equipment and repair farming machinery. Porsche moved his company and the production line to an old sawmill in Gmünd, Austria.Īfter the second world war not much was left of the German industry, everything needed to be rebuilt. Regretfully the second world war became reality and all projects at Porsche were stopped and the Berlin-Rome road race was cancelled. In 1939 project 60K10 was finished a beautiful aluminium bodied aerodynamic racingcar was the result. The 60K10 was mechanically based on "KDF-Wagen" components of which the chassis, engine and other components were used. In the year 1936 he started project 60K10, a racingcar prototype to participate in the Berlin-Rome road race. The most important prewar successes of Porsche engineering were the development and production of the Auto Union Grand Prix racing cars and the design and production of the "Kraft-Durch-Freude-Wagen" later to be known (and become world famous) as Volkswagen Beetle.įerdinand Porsches big dream was to build sportscars carrying his own name. Porsche also engineered a fair share of the Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix racing cars and some components were even built by Porsche engineering. Porsche engineering designed and constructed small cars for Zündapp, NSU and Wanderer. Porsche engineering designed merely for automotive manufacturers. "Porsche Konstruktionsburo für Motorenfahrzeug und Wasserfahrzeugbau". On 25 april 1931 Professor Ferdinand Porsche founded his automotive engineering company. Induction: Bosch K-Jetronic petrol injectionĬapacity: 188 bhp. In the late nineties an entirely new designed 911 appeared, in concept still the same but larger and now with a water cooled flat-six. A classic that will probably be built forever. Over the last decade the car evolved even more but the basic design did not change. In 1973 even more changed the car became new bumpers, the rear light cluster was redesigned as was the interior. longer wheelbase and more pronounced wheel arches. The cars design was slightly restyled during its life, in the end of 1968 the car became a six cm. This concept evolved over the years and is still actual in the Porsche 911 model built today. The flat-six air-cooled engine was at first available with a cylinder capacity of 1991 cc. Only the Porsche 912, produced between 19 was equipped with the flat- four cylinder 356 engine. Like the 356 the 911 was built using the same concept with a rear mounted engine. From this moment on the famous "flat-six" air-cooled engine was used by Porsche. The Porsche 911 succeeded the Porsche 356 in the end of the year 1963. The 911 was designed by Ferry ("Butzi") Porsche. The Porsche 911 is the evergreen of this famous German sports car make.
