The Porsche 911 is probably the most iconic sports car in the history of the automotive industry. Designed as a larger and more powerful replacement for the Porsche 356, the 911 had a different name at first. What was it called?

The Porsche 911 was designed by Ferry's son, and it was supposed to be called the 901. However, Peugeot had already patented the three-digit designation for one of their cars. That's how the 901 came to be the 911.
