Why is the ignition lock on the Porsche to the left of the steering wheel?
The position of the ignition switch dates back to the early days of the infamous 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. At the start of the Le Mans race, which was introduced in 1925, it was customary for the participating drivers to stand a few meters away from their cars before the start signal was given and then run to their cars upon receiving the signal. To ensure the start procedure could be carried out as quickly as possible and no time was wasted, Porsche engineers ultimately installed the start button to the left of the steering wheel. This allowed drivers to start the car as soon as they got in. Although Le Mans races have not been started this way since 1971, Porsche has kept the ignition switch positioned to the left of the steering wheel. It has now become legendary and often causes confusion among new Porsche owners at first. By the way: There’s also a story that, back then, due to a shortage of materials (cables), the starter was moved to the left side to save costs. It wasn’t until later, during the races, that they realized this was actually an advantage. But let’s be honest—the Le Mans story is way cooler, isn’t it?
