About this artwork
The Porsche 911 got its name from its internal development code at Porsche, which was 901. The car was initially introduced as the Porsche 901 at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in 1963. However, due to a trademark dispute with Peugeot, Porsche had to change the model designation.
Peugeot claimed the rights to three-digit model numbers with a “0” in the middle, so Porsche had to find an alternative. In 1964, the Porsche 901 was officially… renamed the Porsche 911 before it went into production. The “911” not only preserved the original essence
of the model designation but also quickly became iconic in the
automotive world.
Since then, the Porsche 911 has become one of the most
recognizable and enduring sports cars, maintaining its original name and evolving through multiple generations while staying true to its distinct design and performance characteristics.
