911 Evolution

Then...
And Now !
On The Cover

Then - a 1973 Carrera RS, chassis #411, this car is the touring version which came through Switzerland as part of the original 500 cars produced by Porsche for homologation. Now - a 1999 996 Carrera tiptronic. These two cars represent a span of 25 years in 911 Carrera history. The raw driving experience of the RS and the modern day refinement of the 996 gives you a full range of 911 excitement.

PML is honored to have the photography of Jeff Zwart in our magazine. Jeff’s talents as a photographer, director and Porsche racer show in his work (see page 9).
