Story behind

The Original 911 Turbo or The Birth of a Turbo Icon

In 1974, Porsche introduced an icon—the first road-going 911 Turbo, a special gift from Ferry Porsche to his sister, Louise Piëch. Dubbed “No. 1,” this sleek prototype housed a 2.7-liter boxer engine, paving the way for Porsche's turbocharged legacy. Though it lacked the widebody design of later models, its raw power was unmistakable. This artwork captures that historic moment and the thrill of its turbo-lag acceleration, now honored as a centerpiece in the Porsche Museum.
