Porsche 911 (901 No. 57): The Oldest 911 in the Porsche Museum

The Porsche Museum’s oldest 911 is a significant piece of automotive history. Originally produced as a Porsche 901, this signal red sports car was delivered under the now-iconic name 911, with chassis number 57. In 2014, the rusty remains of this classic were discovered in a shed by a German TV show, “The Junk Troop.” After being authenticated by Porsche Museum experts, the car became a prized part of the museum’s collection.

The extensive restoration took three years, reviving the body, engine, transmission, and interior to its original condition, bringing this legendary vehicle back to life.

  • Engine: 6-Cylinder Boxer
  • Displacement: 1991 ccm
  • Power Output: 96 kW (130 HP)

This classic 911 stands as a testament to Porsche’s rich heritage and engineering prowess.
