This legendary model was one of those automobiles that changed slightly over their entire history. Since the day it was born and till now there had not been a single major update in its construction and design. Many experts think it was because of the company’s policy of gradual evolution, some think it was the reasonableness and reliability of this model, which didn’t require significant modernization. This classic Porsche model with an internal index of 901 was produced from 1964 to 1989, and during these 25 years, the company sold more than 274,000 vehicles of all modifications, including the famous Turbo (930) modification. Despite the absence of major design changes throughout the entire production period, the classic model had two generations (1964-1974 and 1974-1989), each divided into “series” (1964-1979, denoted by letters from A to M) and “programs” (1980-1989, from A to K). This classification was invented to make it easier to establish the year of manufacture of the particular automobile and the degree of its modernization. The first generation (1964-1974) featured virtually no external changes. The lighting equipment was only adjusted following American safety standards, carried out in 1968 for export versions. The second generation of the model started with the launch of the G series in 1974. Differences from the first series were full-width taillights and raised bumpers with black plastic lining, connected to the body using hydraulic shock absorbers (following American safety regulations, these bumpers had to withstand a collision at a speed of 8 km/h without damage to the body).
