A superb and rare photo of the magnificent and NEW
1965 Porsche 911. This image was taken as before the start of the
1965 Monte Carlo Rally. The car was driven by Peter Falk and
his teammate Herbert Linge.
The
Porsche 911 as it won its class in the 1965 Rally Monte
Carlo in the hands of
Linge - Falk. Herbert Linge, the man credited with
the development of all early competition Porsches and one of the first
employees of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
The Porsche 911 (pronounced as Nine Eleven, German: Neunelfer) is a
luxury 2-door sports coupe made by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany.
It has a distinctive design, rear engined and with independent rear suspension,
an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. The engine was also
air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998. Since its
introduction on September
11, 1963, it has undergone continuous development, though the basic
concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been
modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and
other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful
competition cars ever. In the mid 1970s, normally aspirated 911 Carrera RSRs
won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona,
Sebring and Nürburgring, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 turbo
also won the coveted 24 Hours of Le
Mans in 1979. In the 1999 international poll for the
award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top
five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained
in production until 2003), and was until 1998 the most successful surviving
application of the air- (now water-) cooled opposed rear engine layout
pioneered by its original ancestor, the Volkswagen Beetle. It is one of the
oldest sports coupe nameplates still in production. Although Porsche internally
changes the headings for its models, all 911 models were and are currently sold
as a "911”.
