The Porsche 911 was developed as a ore powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356 designed by Ferdinand (Butzi) Porsche son of Ferdinand (Ferry) Porsche and Edwin Komenda and debuting at the 1963 Frankfurt Motorshow. The earliest editions of the 911 had an air-cooled, rear-mounted, 2.0 L (1,991 cc) 130 PS (96 kW; 130 hp) flat-6 "boxer" engine, similar to the 356’s four-cylinder 1.6 L unit mated to a five speed manual gearbox
The Targa version, with a stainless steel-clad roll bar, appeared in 1967 so designed to allay fears that a full convertible would be outlawed by U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) It was equipped with a removable roof panel and a removable plastic rear window (although a fixed glass version was offered alongside from 1968). The name "Targa" was adapted from the Targa Florio classic road race in Sicily, in which Porsche had scored seven victories since 1956, with four more to come through 1973
In 1981, a Cabriolet concept car was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Not only was the car a true convertible, but it also featured four-wheel drive, although this was dropped in the production version. The first 911 Cabriolet debuted in late 1982, as a 1983 model. This was Porsche’s first cabriolet since the 356 of the mid-1960s it proved popular and Cabriolet versions of the 911 variants have been produced since
The engine was increased to 2195cc, for the 1970 to 71 model years resulting in an increase in engine output.
During model years 1971 to 1973 the model range consisted of the entry level 911T, midrange 911E and top of the line 911S. All models got a new, larger 2,341 cc (2.341 L; 142.9 cu in) engine, universally known a the 2,4 though in actual fact the capacity was closer to 2.3 litres. The new power ratings for the T were 130 hp (97 kW), 165 hp (123 kW) for the E and 190 hp (142 kW) for the S, with the E and the S using mechanical fuel injection MFI.
Engines were further increased to 2653cc, 2.7 litre for years 1974-75. And 3 litre for 1978-83 and finally 3.2 litres 1984-89
