1963
Porsche 911 Carrera (901)

The original Porsche 911 (initially designated 901 until Peugeot challenged the name) was Ferdinand Piëch and Butzi Porsche's replacement for the 356. Its air-cooled 2.0-litre flat-six, torsion bar suspension, and elegant body defined a sporting idiom that would endure for six decades without fundamental change.
