The first 911 (901)

Frankfurt Motor Show 1963

The Porsche 911 was presented to public for the first time at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, known for the majority of us as Frankfurt Motor Show.
It was initially designated as the "Porsche 901", after its internal project number. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. It went on sale in 1964 and it was produce until 1989, the year when Porsche start producing the 911 (964).
