911: 50 Years In The Evolution Of Porsche's Iconic Sports Car

Media_httpstatic5busi_fifia

There are very few cars that have been in continuous production for nearly 50 years.
The Porsche 911 is one of them.

In fact, if the lineage of the 911 is traced to its roots, you will find that it is actually related to the original 1930's Volkswagen Beetle.

While a few aspects of the 911 have changed over the years, even more have stayed the same. The engine hanging over the rear axle is the most obvious hallmark that has remained the same for the entire production run. Such a heavy weight should act like a pendulum and throw the Porsche off balance, but instead this Porsche is one of the best handling cars on the road today.
