On the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911 – the world’s best-known sports car – we explore the competition history of the famous flat-six-powered coupé. We look at the 911’s exploits on track, on the special stages and even in the desert.

- Porsche 911 S Safari. In 1971, Björn Waldegaard spearheaded Porsche’s first big effort to win the gruelling East African Safari rally. The Swede was leading until he crashed out. His 911 S was considered lost for many years, until German restorer Ingo Stimming bought a shell and started uncovering its secrets.
