Why is the ignition lock on the Porsche actually to the left of the steering wheel?

The position of the ignition switch can be traced back to the beginnings of the infamous 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. At the start in Le Mans, which was introduced in 1925, it was customary for the participating racing drivers to stand a few meters away from their car and walk to the car by signal before the start was given. To ensure that the starting procedure could be carried out as quickly as possible and no time was wasted, Porsche engineers eventually installed the start button to the left of the steering wheel. This allowed the drivers to start the car as soon as they got in.

This method of starting has not been used at Le Mans since 1971, but Porsche has retained the position of the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel. It is now legendary and always causes confusion for Porsche newcomers at the start. Incidentally, there is also the story that the starter was moved to the left-hand side to save costs due to a shortage of materials (cables). It was only later during the races that it was realized that this was also an advantage. But let's be honest, the Le Mans story is much cooler, isn't it?

This exclusive "Key on the Left" T-shirt with backprint by industrial designer and artist Marco Giuliano represents a very special moment: It embodies the last few meters before getting into the Porsche 911. In just a few seconds, the interaction between man and machine begins, which holds so many unexpected adventures in store.

From the unusually low perspective, the eye is drawn to the rear fox rim-past the running legs. In design-typical line hatching, the construction lines are depicted. Different line thicknesses visually separate the foreground and background. The technique and the style of the product designer artfully depict a scene that makes you want to continue your own story.

Important note about this product: Conventional textiles contain many harmful substances that are absorbed through the skin. We have therefore decided to have our textile products produced as sustainably as possible. Therefore, our fabrics are produced according to the strict criteria of the GOTS. However, this also means that our sweaters and hoodies will fluff a bit before the first washings. This is because we use a mechanical and not a chemical process to roughen the inside. This is good for the environment and it makes the fabric extra soft, but some loose lint still remains. These become less with each wash and after 3-4 gentle washes, the small drawback has resolved itself.
