The models that made Porsche famous

Porsche 597 Jagdwagen (1955): The company's first all-terrain vehicle was designed for military use in West Germany. The Jagdwagen featured cutting-edge technology at the time, including a four-cylinder air-cooled engine similar to the Porsche 936. However, due to the high cost of production, only 50 were sold.

Porsche 911 Carrera RS (1973): Born 10 years after the first 911 was introduced. Although the RS is quite larger than the previous version, its weight is significantly reduced thanks to the application of new technology and materials. Only more than 1,500 units were produced worldwide.

Porsche 956/962 (1982): The obvious speed-oriented design made this car invincible in many famous races such as North American IMSA and Lemans in the 1980s. In addition, it is also the fastest car to complete the Nürburgring race track in history with a record of 6 minutes 11 seconds.

Porsche 989 (1988): This sports sedan has a simple yet powerful design. Powering the 989 is a naturally aspirated V8 engine with a capacity of about 300 horsepower. The 989's upright dashboard also has a layout of details very similar to the first generation Porsche Panamera.

Porsche 986 Boxster (1996): The economic crisis and poor sales of the 928 would have killed Porsche if it weren't for the 986 Boxster. The 986 Boxster's combination of great engine technology, beautiful design and affordable price helped revive Porsche, leading the way for other supercars like the 918 Spyder, Cayman and 911.

Porsche 911 GT1 (1996): Born with the aim of conquering the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. However, the impressive racing results of the GT1 made Porsche decide to create a street version of the same model called Straßenversion. There are only 25 Straßenversions in the world.

Porsche Carrera GT (2003): The car is integrated with many new technologies and designs ahead of Porsche's time. Typically, the application of pure carbon fiber in the construction of the shell and subframe. The spoiler design of the Carrera GT is still applied in current car models such as the Bugatti Veyron.

Porsche 918 Spyder (2013): It possesses most of the advanced technology today. Typically, the aerodynamic design uses super light composite materials, low chassis, hybrid gasoline-electric engine for nearly 900 horsepower. This supercar can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

Porsche Mission E (2015): There are 3 models launched with 400, 536, and 670 horsepower respectively. Each model will be integrated with many different customized technologies with prices starting at 75,000 USD. Mission E will directly compete with Telsa Model S in the increasingly hot electric car segment today.
