History

Historical Context

In September 1964 Porsche launched the rear-engine 911, successor to the 356 and now in its eighth generation. Its racing success and sales—highlighted by the one-millionth built in May 2017—saved it from a 1979 plan to replace it with the 928. CEO Dr Michael Leiters now unveiled the Mission S concept, continuing the 911’s legacy of expanding Porsche’s premium performance range.
