The 356 and 550 have been mentioned, but there were many model numbers I'm to lazy to look up in Ludvigsen like the RS and the F1 cars. Both in the 740-ish range IIRC. Anyone know the tractor number?

As a design firm Porsche numbered designs consecutively. Some designs never made it to production which is why there are gaps in the numbers. After the 911 reached near god status it kinda stuck, altho the Carrera designation was a move in that direction for a time.

Now we have Boxsters, Caymen, Cayennes and Panameras. Kinda like the Miata vs MX-5 conundrum.

Wonder what will follow the 989 and 999?
