The 911 first went into production as the 1964 911 Carrera, as Porsche’s first six-cylinder model and a replacement for the legendary Porsche 356. For 2004, a 40th Anniversary edition was offered and the Turbo Cabriolet and the Carrera 4S Cabriolet were added, the first time since 1989 that a Turbo Cabriolet was offered. The 2005 Carrera and Carrera S debuted the next generation of 911, an evolution of the original 911 silhouette, with a return to oval headlights with separate turn indicators. The Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S return for 2006. The 911 Turbo and GT3 is added to the 911 lineup for 2007Porsche is ready to sell its 4 doors sports car in 2009. Never in my imagination would I have predicted that one day Porsche would own 75% of VW. Well, in fact, besides being a true Porsche fan, I have often heard good comments from friends who own and drive Porsches. A friend of mine in Hk even told me that her 3 years old Honda Oddessey goes to the workshop much more often than her 10 year old Porsche 997. For 2009, Porsche will display its new 4 door Luxury, High Performance 'Sport Sedan' at the Geneva Auto Show. The car should be available at Porsche dealerships worldwide by end of 2009. Somebody in China has even mentioned the estimated selling price at 160,000 Yuan. Judging by the design and the materials used in the new car, the Panamera is truly a Porsche, even more so than the Cayenne SUV. This will be a new chapter in Porsche's history, after the so so success of the VW based SUV.
