A Porsche salesman told me that the reason why the ignition key is on the left side is that a race car driver uses his/her left hand to start the car and shift gear using the right hand and go.
@gentritgashi1822 Жыл бұрын
Le Mans drivers run to their car and need to start up as soon as possible so the 911 ignition is located next to the door for that exact reason. drivers can shave off a sec or two by turning the ignition and putting the car into gear at the same time
@kdm313 Жыл бұрын
How bout in 1964 when Porsche was a startup and not the profit making company they are today. Wiring was expensive and it was cheaper to wire the ignition switch on the left. Porsche first Le Mans entry was 1966. Two years after the 901 which was renamed the 911 for its market launch in 1964.

I just ordered a 992 GTS because is the highest spec car with a manual that is not a GT4, GT3... But you are absolutely spot on. This car is too damn perfect. And the fact that it will destroy pretty much every car out there makes it even more amazing
@er98ah2 жыл бұрын
Well done! I’ve owned a base 992 and 991s but I want a stick without the depreciation hit so picking up a 997 turbo manual. 992 gts targa would be my ideal car

I think the Turbo S is the best car Porsche has built. The new GT3 is a great car but the S is just as good if not dare as say better even though its chunkier.They really knocked it out of the park. Im not a cabrio guy maybe if i didnt live in NH that would change but it doesn't matter.It carries speed in ways the 991 doesn't handles much much better.
