What's your favorite Ferdinand Porsche creation?

[Liquid Knight]

Following the demise of Ferdinand Porsche I suggested that you can roughly tell how old someone is from their favorite 911.

I was three when this came out and seven when dads Cortina Ghia was passed by one on the M25 as if we were stood still...





...so forum in dedication to the late Ferdinand what is your favorite Porsche?

The first of the proper 911's for me the 2.7 RS.

As seen in Stuttgart last week.

Every time I see or drive my old mans one it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end

To be honest, if I was to go into the garage it would be the 959 over the 2.7RS for me everytime.

Different strokes for different folks I guess!!

What a boring world if we all liked the same things!.

Although I like the same as someone above and I love the 959 too. .

The 959 is lovely but a different BEAST with way more power. The 959 was a massive amount of money (DM) when it came out and was the first of the real Porsche Supercars but without the 911 there would have been no 959.

I had a toy car just like that when I was a boy, the first car I remember wanting. That colour too.

Come on; this is a "put a picture of your favorite Porsche up" thread not a "lets argue about the differences between cars" thread.

You guys.

Butzi Porsche designed the original 911, Ferdinand designed the beetle, and his son Ferdinand designed the 356, so this should be the 'your favourite Porsche thread.

Who's arguing?

It's just constructive criticism really, I think we all agree that they are both nice motors just that the 911 has way more legacy and history than the 959.

The 911 is the Yardstick for sports cars and the 959 is the Yardstick for super cars. I think it was the first super car that had the every day practicality and comfort others lacked. Two reason why I like the 935, pop up lights and...

...the 935 was the last of the pre-healthily and safely designed cars.

A mid 80's turbo, in white for me. And no I’m not a fan of braces and nor do I own a filofax, in fact the car would be older than I am. However, a neighbour had one (and an early boxster S) and took me out in the turbo when I was about 10, the turbo lag was mental, it looked mad with its wide arches. Loved that car always used to listen for him starting the thing, I know I’d kill myself in it, but what a way to go! That car is partly responsible for my obession with all things with an engine, especially considering my dad had Toyota carina, then a Galaxy! Must say I've never felt much for the flat noses though, if you want a 911 it has to have the definitive shape IMO.
