Porsche 928

The Porsche 928 was manufactured from 1977 to 1995 and was classified in the Grand Tourer class. One of two of Porsche’s front-engined, water-cooled, rear-wheel drive cars, it has two doors and is a combination sports coupe and luxury sedan. The transmission availability range was from 3-, 4-speed automatics, as well as a 5-speed manual, and it was manufactured with Porsche’s famous V8 engine.

	1989 – Porsche 928 In 1989 the Porsche 928 saw significant upgrades. The most noticeable difference was the addition of a digital trip computer and warning system on the dashboard and ignition circuit monitoring system. For European models the RDK tire pressure monitoring system was optionally available, and worldwide that February the GT debuted with a more sporty manual-only transmission.
	1990 – Porsche 928 In 1990 the S4 version of the 928 received the GT model pistons that resulted in a true 10.0:1 compression ratio for all engines. Also added as a standard on all cars sold around the globe was the RDK tire pressure monitoring system, but the most impressive change was the addition of a new standard: dual airbags. While this feature was a standard across all US models, dual airbags were only optional for European LHD (left hand drive) while European RHD (right hand drive) only had driver’s side airbags optionally available.
	1991 – Porsche 928 In 1991 the Porsche 928 had several under-the-hood changes that were implemented. These included improvements to the cooling of the cylinder heads, a power steering pump and rack, greater soundproofing, and the temperature sensors for the ignition circuit monitoring system were moved from cylinders four and eight to three and seven to improve their efficiency. Due to California regulatory demands a check engine warning light was added to all US models, while the previously optional air bag(s) in European LHD and RHD models became standard. Inside the vehicle a newly styled shifter knob wrapped in leather made for a more comfortable and stylish experience.
	1992 – Porsche 928 The greatest change to the 928 in 1992 was unveiling the GTS, or the increase of the engine size from 5.0 to 5.4 L, and therefore an increase in the horsepower. This was all due to a longer stroke crankshaft, different compression height, and 10.4:1 ratio pistons. To aid emission the camshaft was made milder, the ‘big black’ brakes were added to the front end, and the manual gearbox saw a differential driven oil pump and front-mounted oil cooler. 1992 marked a slight difference in the body’s design with wider rear wheel arches to give it a more muscular look, as well as the new ‘teardrop’ door mirrors and full-width reflector between the rear lights with the word ‘Porsche’ to increase its modernity.
	1993 – Porsche 928 In 1993 the changes made to Porsche’s 928 were nominal after the previous year’s work. While the passenger-side airbag was added to all RHD cars, all models experienced a replacement of studs with bolts in the lower half of the cylinder block. A few minor edits included piston rings changed to limit the oil consumption, the piston skirt strengthened further, and the air conditioning refrigerant was changed over to R134.
	1994 – Porsche 928 Most notably in 1994, the 928 automatic model is modified to have dynamic kick-down, and on all models a cabin pollen filter was added and the wheel design changed to Cup II from RDK. Note, despite all 1994 cars having the ‘94 VIN sequence, the first produced for the US in the early spring that year actually had previous year model parts. Toward the middle of the year the connecting rod design was changed to be stronger.
	1995 – Porsche 928 1995 was the last year that both the manual and automatic versions of the 928 was made for distribution around the world, while the manual stopped coming off the line some months before the last automatics.

Porsche 944 S2

Porsche manufactured the 944 between 1982 and 1991 in the Stuttgart factory. Its predecessor was the Porsche 924, successor was the 968, and this two-door coupe also came as a convertible. The transmission was available in a 3-speed automatic, or 5-speed manual, with a standard inline-4 engine

	1989 – Porsche 944S2 In 1989, Porsche was emerging from a near-death leadership crisis after saying good-bye to two different CEOs and several top-management leaders, and suffered from a world-wide economic crash culminating in the deep-dip of the American stock market. The plan for the 944 S2 was simple: Make them better and keep the prices down. Thankfully the 944 S2 signified a return of the premium sports car delivering more performance than the exterior design ever eluded to. The engine was increased to 2.7 liters, a bigger bore, larger intake valves, higher compression, and a Bosch DME ignition injection. Also this year, Porsche made available the S2 model with a suite of new standards, including a draft-free convertible experience in the S2.
	1990 – Porsche 944 S2 IPorsche’s 944 S2 became known as more muscular yet more user-friendly with base-standards like central power locks, heated rear-view mirrors, power windows, an anti-theft alarm and electric tilt/take-out sunroof.
	1991 -Porsche 944 S2 Porsche saw a slump in sales for the 944 S2 in the end of 1990 and made nominal changes in 1991 for they were focusing on a newly redesigned 944S3 in 1992.

Porsche 968

The successor to the 944, Porsche manufactured the 968 from 1992 (when it was meant to debut as the 944S3) to 1995, when it then became the Porsche Boxster. The transmission available was either a 4-speed TipTronic or 6-speed manual, and the engine was always the 3.0 L I4.

	1992 – Porsche 968 The Porsche 968 was introduced in 1992 as a highly varied 944S2. Meant to be the 944S3, the significant modifications and nearly 80% replaced components lead engineers to rename the S3 after the development phase. The resulting vehicle was more streamlined and luxurious than the 944 with the largest 4-cylinder ever offered in a production car up to that time. This model included the then-new VarioCam variable valve timing system, newly optimized exhaust system, and updated management electronics. The new 6-speed manual or optional Tiptronic automatic transmissions and wider variety of colors made this a fun and flashy car.
	1993 – Porsche 968 Over 3400 Porsche 968s were sold in the US and Canada in 1993 marking what would be the second highest year of sales for the car (its initial year ’92 was the highest). The most notable change in the design this year was the change from a 3- to 4-spoke airbag steering wheel.
	1994 – Porsche 968 The most significant changes to the 968 in 1994 included a slightly flared rear, 17-inch wheels, and newly designed taillights and a spoiler.

Porsche 964

Half way through the year 1989 Porsche began producing what they called the 911 964. It stayed in production until 1994 when it’s predecessor the 911 993 took its place. Due to a drop in sales Porsche decided to keep the design of the previous 911′s with few revisions to the exterior. The main difference took place underneath the hood where it sported a larger (3.6 litre) engine, as well as many other revisions such as dual spark ignition and Tiptronic automatic transmission.

	1990 – Porsche 964 Porsche discontinued all previous Carrera models in 1990 The Carrera 2 debuted. The 964 could be ordered optionally with a Tiptronic transmission. The 964 could be shifted either manually or left in automatic. Dual piston rear brake calipers were on the Carrera 2.
	1991 – Porsche 964 In 1991 Porsche made dual airbags standard for the left side steering 964 models. The 964 was outfitted with a 3.3 liter engine, intercooler and and larger turbocharger.
	1992 – Porsche 964 A brake proportioning valve for preventing rear wheel lock was issued into the 964. Alloy four piston rear clippers came on the U.S. Carrera 2. An optional upgrade for the 996 was to have Turbo: suspension, brakes, 17-inch wheels, and a fender flare.
	1993 – Porsche 964 Improving Carrera’s engine, the 1993 964 model was built to send 360 ps to the rear wheels. CFC-free refrigerant was placed into all of the air-conditioning systems.
	1994 – Porsche 964 In 1994 Porsche released the 964 coupe body style only.

Porsche 993

The Porsche 993 is the company’s internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between late 1993 and early 1998, replacing the 964. Its discontinuation marked the end of air-cooled Porsches. The 993′s were a completely new revision of the 964′s, minus the trunk lid and roof. Cup Design 93 spokes, which had become the standard, were designed to keep the brakes cool. The 993 came with a engine disabling alarm system.

	1994 – Porsche 993 In 1994 the 993 series underwent body changes to improve stability and suspension from the 964 model. Porsche introduced a six-speed manual transmission to the 993 series
	1995 – Porsche 993 Porsche’s 993 model in 1995 has been dubbed ‘The New 911 Cerrera’. Sculpting the 993′s body and modifying the engine set the benchmark for the 993. The 993 would establish a new standard for the Porsche’s future productions.
	1996 – Porsche 993 The Turbo’s aesthetics inspired the release of the 993 in 1996. The 993 featured Turbo style suspension and a similar wheel base. Window modifications in the 993 resulted in Porsche gluing in the front and rear windows to solve leak and creak issues.
	1997 – Porsche 993 Automatic Brake Differential (ABD) was introduced to the 993. ABD was an option that allowed the Porsche to maintain optimal traction control. Engine modifications included: hydraulic valve filters, dual exhaust, and a hot-film airflow sensor.
	1998 – Porsche 993 Dropping most of the bodies components, Porsche left the roof and front-deck lid intact for the 993. 1998 would mark the end of the 993 series.

Porsche 993 Turbo

The Porsche 993 Turbo is the company’s internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between late 1993 and early 1998, replacing the 964. Its discontinuation marked the end of air-cooled Porsches. Featured in the 911 993 Turbo, was four wheel drive and a six speed manual transmission. Of course, two turbochargers and lightweight wheels were included in the prices ranging up to $99,000 upon release.

Porsche Carerra 996*

Porsche Carerra 996 Manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005 the Porsche 911 Carrera 996 came with a new 3.4 litre engine. The 996 boasted the first water cooled engine and it shared strut front suspension with the Boxter. Side and front dual airbags became the standard. Other changes include a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior.

Porsche Carerra 4 996*

The Porsche 996 is the company’s internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. It has since been replaced by the Type 997. Both body styles were used in 2005, depending on model. At its debut, it featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction. The most important among these is the fully water-cooled engine, replacing the previously air-cooled engines, used exclusively by the Carrera models. More stringent noise regulations and higher customer expectations for both refinement and a higher performance 4 valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. The 996 Carrera (not GT2, GT3 and Turbo models) engine is designed with what Porsche calls “integrated dry sump oiling”. This “integrated dry sump” engine does not have an oil scavenge pump in the crankcase to pump the engine oil to a separate holding tank outside the crankcase as a true dry sump design would have. The only scavenge pumps in the 996 engine are in the camshaft boxes and the oil is pumped from there to the bottom of the crankcase as it would be in any “wet sump” engine. Other changes include a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior. With these differences in mind, many “purists” consider the 996 to be an altogether different car since it is not air-cooled like the 993 and its predecessors all the way to the 356, at least in spirit, than the Carreras that preceded it, as opposed to being a development of the original.

	1998 – Porsche Carerra 4 996 The 996 Carrera 4′s body was larger than the 993 and had more of the ‘boxster’ style body. Almost half of the parts remained the same from it’s predecessor.
	1999 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 A racing engine was placed into the 996 Carrera 4 resulting in a weight increase. At 2,976 pounds the 996 was 66 pounds heavier than the stock 996 model. Adjustable suspension and an engine of 360 horsepower were also a statement of the 996 Carrera 4
	2000 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 The 996 Carrera 4 was upgraded to an E-Gas electronic throttle in 2000. A tiptronic transmission was optional for the Carrera 4 and steering wheel rocker switches were added.
	2001 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 Both the Carrera and the Carrera 4 embodied new technologies. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) were built into the 996 2001 model. Seat program memory was added to the Carrera 4.
	2002 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 Modifications to the Carrera 4′s air intake increased airflow to the radiators by 15 percent. The stroke was lengthened from 78.0 to 82.8 and the engine went from 3.4 liters to 3.6 liters. The six speed manual transmission was strengthened to hand the torque form the new 3.6 liters.
	2003 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 In 2003 Porsche North America made the 996 horsepowers to SAE specifications.
	2004 - Porsche Carerra 4 996 Porsche added all wheel drive to the Carrera 4 and wind deflectors became standard on the 2004 Cabriolets.

Porsche 911 Turbo 996*

A 415 horsepower twin turbo engine and all wheel drive were among the 996′s features.
	2004 – Porsche 996 Turbo Upgrading to the X50 package was available to the 996 Turbo. Porshce introduced a new VarioCam to the Turbo. VarioCam is valve timing technology that adjusts the tension timing chain.
	2005 – Porsche 996 Turbo The X50 became standard in the 996 Turbo. Power gain was up to 444 horsepower with the X50 addition. A hardtop option with a rear heated window was some of the Turbo’s body features.

Porsche 911 GT2 966*

The 996 GT2 Porsche was a rear wheel drive only version of the turbo. The GT2 is significantly lighter than the Turbo due to the use of rear-wheel drive instead of all-wheel drive, and the lightening or removal of interior components. These changes made it extremely fast sporting 483 horsepower at 5700 rpm with a 3.6 litre engine. Accelerating to 60 mph in 4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 198 mph.

	2000 – Porsche 911 GT2 966 The 2000 Porsche 996 GT2 differed quite dramatically from most other 996′s with a well defined rear wing, wide fenders, and a more aerodynamically shaped nose.
	2001 - Porsche 911 GT2 966 In 2001 North America finally started receiving the much anticipated 996 turbo after it’s debut in Europe in 1999. The GT2 911 993 was replaced by the GT2 911 996 in 1999, but there wasn’t a version available to the public for a few years later due to a internal focus at Porsche to push the GT3.
	2002 – Porsche 911 GT2 966 The 2002 Porsche 996 GT2 horsepower was boosted to 456. The GT2′s was lighter than other Turbo versions, using standard brakes helped the GT2′s weight. A top speed of 195mph was reached by the GT2.
	2003 – Porsche 911 GT2 966 The 2003 Porsche 996 GT2 racing experience changed the GT2′s chassis and suspension. The GT2 maintains Porsche’s suburb safety technology energy absorbing door panels and door mounted side air bags to name a few of the GT2′s safety features.

It ran 381 HP at 7400 RPM, going from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 190 MPH. The racing versions of the GT3 have won several major 24h races outright, and mainly dominated their class at Le Mans. The 911 GT3 competes with the BMW M3 GTR and the Ferrari F430 GT2.

	2000 – Porsche 911 GT3 966 The 2000 Porsche GT3 996 was built for speed. Sound deadening was removed, as well as sun roof, rear seats, and anything that would weigh the car down.
	2001 - Porsche 911 GT3 966 IThe 2001 Porsche GT3 996 was made lightweight for speed, offering what was called the “Club Sport” package. It consisted of a few of the standard amenities people had come to love in the 911′s such as automatic air-conditioning and CD/radio. Due to additional crash testing needed to enter the US sales the Club Sport package was not offered in America.
	2002 – Porsche 911 GT3 966 The 2002 Porsche GT3 996 model underwent a face lift of sorts, differentiating the headlights from the boxer. A revised version of the 911 GT3 996 was released in 2003 to the European Market. In 2005 it would be discontinued as the last revision of the 996 platform car.

The Porsche Cayenne is a five-seat mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle manufactured by the German automaker Porsche since 2002, with North American sales beginning in 2003. The Cayenne was the first attempt for Porsche to branch out from the sports car to the crossover SUV, surprising many Porsche loyalists. This was also only the second time Porsche ever made a front-engine vehicle, but not the first time it collaborated with VW for ingenuity. The Cayenne platform was developed and is shared with the Volkswagen Touareg. It is still in production today and is considered the highest torque, fastest SUV ever built.

	2003 – Porsche Cayenne 955 Taking a sharp turn from the norm for Porsche, it unveiled its very first luxury sport utility vehicle in 2001 and 2003 marked the first sales of the Cayenne 955 in North America. Renewing an historic partnership, the Cayenne was designed on the development of the Volkwage Touareg, and came available with a standard V8 engine. Porsche set a new standard for SUVs around the globe with its sleek, fast, and high torque Cayenne. This was the first four-door Porsche and puzzled some journalists and outraged enthusiasts, but new CEO Wendelin Wiedeking understood the need to adapt with the ever-changing world of consumers.
	2004 – Porsche Cayenne 955 The Porsche 955 Cayenne came with a full-time four-wheel drive that included a separate low range for off-roading, while the Porsche Traction Management was able to send up to 100% of the power to either axle. Also, 2004 marked the introduction of the optional Advanced Off-Road Tech Package with a locking rear differential, skid plates and a hydraulic disconnect for the antiroll bars to increase wheel travel.
	2005 – Porsche Cayenne 955 In 2005 the Cayanne was first offered with a base model V6 with less standard luxuries that reduced the overall weight and price. The Cayenne became famous for having the famous VarioCam system that automatically adjusted intake-valve timing and life to bolster both low-speed torque and high-end power. The Bosche Motronic ME 7.1.1 engine computer abandoned the mechanical linkage of an old-fashion throttle control for a new computer “e-gas” version.
	2006 – Porsche Cayenne 955 2006 was an exciting year for the Porsche 955 Cayenne because Porsche made available a limited edition Turbo S that had a massive 520 horespower and 530 pound-feet of torque at just 2750 rpm. With many over-the-top standard luxury features, this was a direct response to both Mercedes and BMW competitor models.
	2007 – Porsche Cayenne 955 For the year in 2007, Porsche continued to sell out remaining stocks of Cayenne 2006 models.

Porsche Cayman 987*

A mid-engined, 2-door sports car, the Cayman was first manufactured in 2005 and is still in production today. The engine is a flat 6, has the VarioCam Plus valve-timing system, plus a suite of optional features making it luxurious as well as sporty. The Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche’s second generation Boxster convertible.

	2005 – Porsche Cayman 987 Porsche introduced the Cayman 987 in 2005 as a hard-topped Boxster with many extras and bridging the gap between the Boxster and 911. About forty percent of its components came from the 987 Boxseter’s, but with some slight design modifications including an up-market trim package, slightly higher rear-end, its own front end with a larger air intake, and vertical slatted intakes all around (instead of horizontal). Finish it off with a Cayman-exclusive two-piece rear spoiler that also automatically rises at speeds greater than 75 mph, just as the Boxster’s does.
	2006 – Porsche Cayman 987 Several improvements were made to the Porsche Cayman 2006 model, such as the availability of the VarioCam Plus, detail cylinder-head changes and a higher compression ratio taking the horsepower up to 245.
	2007 – Porsche Cayman 987 In 2007 the Cayman saw a new 3.4 liter engine, basically the original 3.2 with a larger bore. Larger main bearing journals to support the crankcshaft were added, as well as stronger aluminum crankshafts and better compression taking the horsepower up again to 295.
	2008 – Porsche Cayman 987 Not surprisingly, the Cayman was made with the optional TipTronic S automatic shifting buttons and is now known as the best handling car Porsche has ever made due to its rigid construction and therefore better suspension performance.

Porsche Carrera GT 980

The Porsche Carrerra GT is like no other car available in the world for it is a limited-production supercar. The V10 engine has 612 horsepower, can reach approximately 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds, and pricing starts at over $440K. Available in only five colors, it comes in nearly all carbon fiber (minus steel around the driver and passenger) and has numerous special standard features.

	2004 – Porsche Carrera GT 980 The first limited-production supercar produced by Porsche since the 959 in 1983, the Carrera GT 980 marked a new push by Porsche to create a high-performance supercar engineered for the track yet designed for the road. It has a 5.7 liter, V10, 605 horsepower engine that can go from 0 to 124 mph in under 10 seconds with a top speed of about 205 mph. This powerful engine sits at the midline in the car with the passenger compartment in front making it very aerodynamic with an even weight distribution. The entire vehicle is made from a reinforced carbon fiber, the clutch is of a ceramic composite with a rotating mass approximately 10 times higher than a traditional one, and ceramic composite brake system that is known for being light yet extremely responsive.
	2005 – Porsche Carrera GT 980 Porsche only made slight modifications to the Carrera GT in 2005 by mounting a glass screen between the safety bars, and adding a seat-height adjustment. Otherwise it remained identical to the 2003 design and 2004 distribution model, including front- and side-impact airbags, traction control and high-powered Xenon headlights.
	2006 – Porsche Carrera GT 980 Porsche had more than the traditional racecar driver in mind when designing this exclusive supercar. Of course most of the interior is of the traditional racecar design, yet luxurious amenities swaying from the usually minimalistic included heated rear-view mirrors, extensive accessories of the same leather as the interior, optional navigation system and BOSE stereo, and one-touch automatic windows.
