The 911 begins: Considered by the factory as a replacement not for the 356 (alongside which it was sold for a year or so) but for the more expensive and complicated Carrera 2, the 1965 911 established the basic foundation upon which successive generations would build: a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six; a comfortable cabin for pilot and passenger with vestigial seats in the rear; a five-speed manual gearbox; and disc brakes all around. And the ignition always to the left of the steering wheel—the unorthodox key placement was originally chosen to aid drivers’ getaways during the Le Mans start.
