Porsche Museum opens 911 Identity exhibition

As the seventh-generation Porsche 911 hits the market, the Porsche Museum is honoring its brand-defining model with a new exhibition called 911 Identity.

The display in the company's Stuttgart museum highlights each generation of 911, from the 1963 original through to the 2012 991, offering facts, figures and artifacts from their year of launch.

As well as road going variants of the 911, motor sport versions are on show, from the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Safari, through to the current 911 GT3R Hybrid, via the fearsome 935s of the 1970s and '80s. These feature beside a cutaway of the latest road car that explains the car's technical details. Visitors can also see a disguised test-mule and a showcase of steering and road wheel designs, profiling the evolution of both items.

The experience is rounded off by the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a 911 Carrera and gain access to a collection of archived documents from the Porsche vault, previously unseen by the public.
