Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 is one of the most exciting models in car history and a success story that has lasted for more than 50 years. The Porsche 911 was developed using the Porsche 356 model, a sportier version of the modest Volkswagen Beetle. From the start, the 911 was a derivative of existing cars and a step in the evolution of the rear-engine automobile concept. However, engineers soon realized that the rear engine has disadvantages in weight balance, handling, and driving dynamics. Early models were scary to drive hard as you’d never know when the rear end would break loose (via Porsche).
Porsche invested an unbelievable amount of time and effort in perfecting this model. Today, the 911 is the best overall sports car in the world, with over 1 million sold and a benchmark model in terms of performance and handling. This just goes to show that anything can be done if you put enough effort into it.
