Porsche 911 2.2E Targa Signal Orange '70 1970
General description :
The Porsche 911 is a two-door, high performance sports with a distinctive design, rear-engined and with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, it has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained little changed. The engine was air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998.Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of automotive competition. It is among the most successful competition cars ever. In the mid-1970s, naturally aspired 911 Carrera RSRs won major world championship sports car races such as Targa Florio, Daytona, Nurburging, even against prototypes. The 911-derived 935 Turbo also won the coveted 24 hours of Le Mans in 1979.In the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century, the 911 came fifth. It is one of two in the top five that had remained continuously in production (the original Beetle remained in production until 2003), and was until 1998 the most successful surviving application of the air-cooled opposed rear-engine layout pioneered by its original ancestor, the VW Beetle. It is one of the oldest sports coupe nameplates still in production, and 820,000 had been sold by the car's 50th anniversary in 2013.SpecificationsBodyworkLength: cm (in): 416 (163.9)Width: cm (in): 161 (63.4)Height: cm (in): 132 (52)Wheelbase: cm (in) : 227 (89.3)Mechanics.Displacement: flat-six 2195 cc (134 ci), rear-mountedValve gear: 12Fuel system: 2 Weber carburettorsGearbox: 4-speed manualDriven wheels: rear-wheel driveMaximum power: 125 bhp at 5800 rpmMaximum torque: 176 Nm at 4200 rpmMaximum speed: 190 km/h (117 mph) This car is just in at Oldtimerfarm, Aalter Belgium.
