The glorious history of Porsche 9 1 1

At that time, the first generation of 9 1 1 was called 90 1, but it was renamed as 9 165438 because Peugeot had registered all the digits with a median of three digits. It is worth mentioning that at that time, Porsche wanted to give up the rear-mounted rear drive and switch to the middle-mounted rear drive or the front-mounted rear drive, but fans insisted on the concept that "only the rear-mounted rear drive is the most authentic Porsche sports car" and finally retained the rear-mounted rear drive.
