Porsche 911
Sports car produced by Porsche
Summary
The Porsche 911 model series is a family of two-door, high performance rear-engine sports cars, introduced in September 1964 by Porsche of Stuttgart, Germany, and now in its eighth generation. All 911s have a rear-mounted flat-six engine, and usually 2+2 seating, except for special 2-seater variants. Originally, 911s had air-cooled engines, and torsion bar suspension, but the 911 has been continuously changed and improved across generations. Though the 911 core concept has remained largely unchanged, water-cooled engines were introduced with the 996 series in 1998, and front and rear suspension have been replaced by Porsche-specific MacPherson suspension up front, and independent multi-link rear suspension.

/* 911SC (1978–1983) */ Fixed grammar and punctuation. British Spelling. Fixed dashes. We don't use titles for people in running text. Those are very long sentences.
/* growthexperiments-addlink-summary-summary:3|0|0 */
Flushed out the section that describes the near termination of the 911. The original seemed a little too barren regarding background and info. Sorry I didn't log in. I've forgotten what it is. Must be my old age...(sigh)
/* Carrera 2.7 MFI and CIS (1974–1976) */ Unit conversion precision
/* 911 and 911S 2.7 (1973–1977) */
/* 911 and 911S 2.7 (1973–1977) */
Spacing. Separating image markup from text paragraphs makes it easier to read and therefore easier to edit. No change to rendered output for the final reader.
