PORSCHE 911: 50 YEARS AGO – GETTING CLOSE

At this time 50 years ago, Ferry and Butzi Porsche were ready to have a final version of the motor and transmission installed in the 901 body.

Ironically, the very first complete car shown to the public at the Frankfurt Auto Show in the fall of 1963 did not have a functioning engine.
