Now into its eighth generation the Porsche 911 is a motoring icon. Production started in 1964 with a 2.0l rear mounted “Flat 6” air cooled engine paired to a 5-speed dogleg gearbox with the basic concept and DNA remaining virtually unchanged to date.

The 911T was introduced with a 2.2L engine boasting 130bhp with carburetors. (Fuel injection in the USA due to emission regulations). With the introduction of “Model year 1972”, the engine was upgraded to 2.4L and the gearbox received the H pattern configuration which replaced the “dog leg” version. This was derived from the 908-race car to handle the increased power and torque. Due to oversteer with the rear mounted engine, the 1972 model year also had the oil tank moved in front of the right rear wheel as opposed to the traditional layout behind the right rear wheel. This was done to improve balance and weight distribution but only lasted for the 1972 model year due to changes in safety regulations
