On 27 November, the eighth generation of the Porsche 911 will celebrate its world premiere in Los Angeles - 55 years after the debut of the original 911 model.This is reason enough to take a look back at the previous seven generations:With the fifth generation of the 911 introduced in 1997 - the type 996 - Porsche took the bold step to stop using air-cooled engines. After 34 years, the sports car manufacturer completely revamped its icon with the new 911 and in doing so solved a number of urgent challenges. As part of a process that had started with the predecessor, the focus was on reducing production costs through maximum compatibility of parts with other model series, such as the Boxster, as well as on meeting updated safety and emissions regulations. Porsche found its path into the future with the 996.
