Legendary Tech: The Porsche 911 S Targa of the 1964-1989 Generation

The model car you see in 1/18 scale here is based on the iconic Porsche 911 S Targa of the 1964-1989 Generation. The Porsche 911 is one of the most renowned series of the German car manufacturer. This generation was originally produced between 1964 and 1989 and has profoundly influenced the image of sports cars. The designer Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche was responsible for the exterior design of the original vehicle, and his distinctive styling is clearly evident in this model. Renowned technical engineers, such as Hans Mezger, contributed to the development of the air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine, which was a hallmark of the 911 from the start.
