Porsche 911: A success story since 1963
The 911 is probably Porsche's most famous sports car. When you think of Porsche, the Porsche 911 inevitably springs to mind. Its success story began in 1963 with the first generation and continues to this day. It has now reached its 8th generation in 2019 and is one of the best-selling sports cars of all time. Then as now, it thrills people's hearts and gives them unique, adrenaline-charged moments that they will never forget.
It is not for nothing that the Porsche 911 is also called the Carrera. These terms are almost synonymous. “Carrera” is actually just an internal Porsche name for very powerful vehicles.
Even though the legendary sports car has changed over the years, it has always remained true to itself. The unmistakable look of the Porsche 911 and the six-cylinder boxer engine in the rear have been the trademarks of this Porsche from the beginning to today. The typical 911 has rear-wheel drive, but it is also available with all-wheel drive, for example as the Carrera 4.
The Porsche 911 is considered the most perfect, most reliable sports car. The speed, handling and driving experience are indescribable. The 911 has been setting new standards for generations. It mixes adrenaline with pure emotion and creates the unforgettable goosebumps feeling that makes it so successful. A true masterpiece with legendary status.
But the 911 was not alone on its journey. It was accompanied by a good friend who has remained loyal to it to this day. Together they have become legends. We are talking about the Fuchs rim . The first light alloy rim to be delivered as standard with a vehicle. The Fuchs rim was not only a groundbreaking innovation, it revolutionized the entire market. Otto Fuchs used the process of forging aluminum from a single piece to bring new, lighter and more durable rims onto the market that were far superior to cast rims. The aluminum rims that everyone loves and appreciates today for their excellent performance and beautiful design. The Fuchs rims were therefore a relevant part of the success of the Porsche 911.

The history of the Porsche 911
We would like to briefly show you the history of the famous 911. Where it all began and where the 911 is today. The Porsche 911 is the successor to the very first Porsche model, the 356.
The journey began with the original model of the 911, which appeared in 1963 and was built until 1973. Initially, a 130 hp boxer engine was installed, the same engine that was continually developed over the years and given more hp. Like the 911 Turbo that appeared in 1966 with 160 hp, extremely fast for the time. This power was tamed by the Fuchs rim mentioned above. The first aluminum rim created for series production.
All vehicles produced from 1973 to 1989 belong to the G-model series. This represented a fundamental revision and improvement of the Porsche 911. The first 911 Turbo S appeared in 1974, as the first sports car in which an exhaust turbocharger and boost pressure regulator were installed as standard. With 260 hp, this version had twice as much power as the original 911.
The third generation of the 911 is called the Porsche 964 and was produced and sold from 1988 to 1994. This was a completely new vehicle, 80% of the parts were new. Only the body shape was hardly changed, the company wanted to stay true to the successful concept. The main thing was to improve and expand the technology. ABS and power steering were installed as standard, which was not common at the time. With a 3.6L displacement and 250hp, the engine has plenty of power and offers even more driving fun. In 1991, the top model, the Porsche 964 Turbo, appeared with a groundbreaking 320hp. A true monster of a sports car.
The Porsche 993, produced from 1993 to 1998, replaced the Porsche 964. The 993 improves on the innovations introduced in the 964 and is considered the most sophisticated, reliable sports car in the 911 series. The Porsche 993 Turbo, with its 408 hp, was the first model in the series to break the 400 hp mark.
The fifth generation is called the Porsche 996 and appeared in 1997. The 996, which was built until 2006, received many new technical improvements. For the first time in a Porsche 911, the engine was cooled with water instead of air. The exterior was adapted and aerodynamically improved. The basic model produces a strong 300 hp, but the Porsche 996 Turbo S produces an impressive 450 hp.
The successor, the Porsche 997, did not undergo any major technical changes. The main thing was that the shape was adjusted so that it was more reminiscent of the original Porsche 911. For the first time, the names 911 S and 911 GTS were added for particularly powerful variants.
The Porsche 991, the seventh generation of the 911, has been given new construction methods. Some of the parts were made of aluminum, which led to a noticeable weight saving. The Porsche 991 was produced from 2011 to 2019. In 2015 it received a facelift, the Porsche 991 II or 991.2. For the first time, a turbo engine was installed instead of a naturally aspirated engine. This led to a huge increase in performance and sales figures also shot up. The Porsche 991 GT2 RS has an incredible 700 hp and held the lap record on the Nürburgring for a long time as a road-legal vehicle.
The eighth and most recent generation is the Porsche 992. This was released in 2019 and has a bit more power than its predecessor. But first and foremost there has been a lot of digitalization, lots of new assistance systems and technical helpers of all kinds for the Porsche 992. This brings more safety and comfort to Porsche's flagship.
Many generations and yet always the same at heart, the Porsche 911, the dream car of young and old. And the Fuchs rims have always been part of this success story. Without the original Porsche 911 rims, the 911 would not be what it is today. That's why your 911 deserves nothing less than the Fuchs rims or original 911 rims. An inseparable team for more than 50 years.
Porsche 911 models and model variants
The 911 is available in four basic model variants: the 911 Coupé, 911 Targa, 911 Cabriolet and 911 Speedster or Roadster. They all differ in certain respects, but the 911 genes are never lost.
These variants are then available in other versions such as the 911 4 or 911 4S, which are the vehicles with all-wheel drive, among others. Followed by the sportier models such as the 911 Turbo or 911 Turbo S. Not to forget the long-distance versions such as the 911 GTS, GT2, GT2 RS, GT3 or GT3 RS.
