Total 911

A 959 on the famous Green Hell: is there a sight more likely to stir the emotions than this? Total 911 spied this 959 doing hot laps at an industry pool day on the Nordschleife in October. Earlier that week it was spotted residing at the nearby premi

Porsche is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Weissach Development Centre, which today stretches across 100 hectares and employs 6,700 people. Located just 15 miles from Zuffenhausen, the site in Weissach became home to the Porsche design and de

Here at Total 911 we believe there is no such thing as a poor 911. We admire them all, and as motoring journalists we get particularly excited when new models are released. Porsche has spoiled us with many different model iterations – S, 4S GTS – and

The early 1990s was something of a purple patch for performance cars. In 1989, Nissan launched the third-generation (R32) Skyline GT-R, a turbocharged giant-killer packed with motorsport hardware. A year later, Honda delivered the NSX, a visceral mid

John Fitzpatrick was born in Birmingham, United Kingdom, in 1943. It was a bleak world, with his birth city having been bombed relentlessly by the Luftwaffe during the war, but as the young Fitzpatrick grew, he formed his own plans that would take hi

There’s no shortage of milestones throughout the long history of Porsche road cars, but if I were pushed to pick one pivotal year it would have to be 1996. That was the year a quarter of a century ago that Porsche transitioned from the past to the fu

I wonder if the folks at Porsche realised just how iconic the Rennsport models would become nearly 50 years later? Barely ten years since the inception of the 911 and the world was blessed with what for many remains the iconic 911, in 1973’s 2.7 RS.

The Müller family came from the Aargau (Argovie) Kanton, which lies about 50km west of Zürich. In the mid 1930s Herbert’s father, Arthur Müller, established a metal plating business in the town of Reinach. A relatively new field, metal plating was mu

It is the old myth we’ve all heard so many times, we can recite it ourselves. Namely, if you want to buy a car with any form of opening roof, then buy it over the winter period. That, we are purportedly told, is when anything open top is hardest to s

Despite the many complex technological advances, features and systems used over the lifespan of the 911, one vital element of the car relied on a simple, mechanical system for over 40 years – the use of torsion bar suspension. Invented by Ferdinand P

Many 911 owners would already consider their car to be a piece of automotive art – we certainly do – and gazing over the curvaceous bodywork can give many hours of pleasure. But there’s more than one way to enjoy the stunning appearance, and having i
