Selling a 1981 Porsche 911

 

While many believe that the Porsche 911 was designed as a replacement for the iconic Porsche 356, the 911 was actually considered by the factory to be a replacement for the more expensive Carrera 2 models when it was launched in 1965. Offering a rear-mounted, air-cooled, flat-six engine, the 1981 Porsche 911 presented a more comfortable cabin for passenger and driver, a five-speed manual gearbox, and disk brakes all around. Interestingly, a quirk that has lasted more than fifty years, all Porsches feature ignitions on the left side of the steering wheel. This unusual placement was originally implemented to assist drivers in attaining the fastest Le Mans start possible, meaning they could have one hand on the gear shifter and another on the ignition to launch at any given moment. Part of the second-generation of 911s to come from the factory, the 1981 911 is also recognizable by the larger, protruding bumpers and safety features that were implemented in previous years, such as three-point safety belts and integrated headrests.

During the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1981, Porsche also released a Cabriolet concept, which would be the manufacturer’s first real open top car since the launch of the much-loved 356. While this concept would not become available until the following year, sales of the 1981 Porsche 911 slowed slightly as buyers anticipated the release of the convertible model.
