The introduction of the Porsche 901 in 1963 marked a milestone in automotive history. Although the name later had to be changed because Peugeot had patented having a 0 in the middle of car model numbers, the 911 didn''t let anything stand in the way o f its becoming an iconic sports car. This success story spans all the way from the 901 and the Carrera RS 2.7 (which with its characteristic rear spoiler-the so-called "ducktail"- was the fastest production car of its time) right up to the current ge neration of the 991. The famous automotive photographer René Staud showcases the most important models-all in his typically radiant and distinctive style.
