Why the key is in the left slot
The Porsche 911 has a quirk that every driver is familiar with: the key is located to the left of the steering wheel. It’s said that some people, on their first drive in a 911, have looked in vain for the ignition switch on the right side.
At Le Mans, the 24-hour race used to begin with a sprint. The drivers stood on the opposite side of the track, ran to their cars at the starting signal, and had to start the engine as quickly as possible. Porsche therefore placed the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel. The key was turned with the left hand, while the right hand simultaneously shifted into first gear.
The Le Mans start hasn’t been used for decades. Nevertheless, the ignition switch has remained on the left to this day. There’s also a more practical explanation: In the early years, placing it on the left was simply a way to save on wiring.
“Key on the left” turns this detail into a design motif. Each pendant is handcrafted from full-grain leather in a small leather workshop in Wales. It consists of a square piece of leather, a narrow leather loop, and a flat metal ring. The ring is engraved with “Made for Drivers” and Elferspot.com.
