7 Unknown Facts About Porsche911
Born in 1964 – Never Looked Back: The 911 has been in continuous production for over 60 years, evolving with the times but never losing its soul — or its silhouette.
Rear-Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive? Yep: Unlike most sports cars, the 911 places the engine behind the rear axle — a quirky layout that Porsche mastered into pure handling magic.
It Was Almost Called the 901: Peugeot objected to any 3-digit car name with a "0" in the middle — so Porsche swapped it to 911, and a legend was born.
From Targa to Turbo S: The 911 comes in a wild range of flavors — coupe, cabriolet, Targa, Carrera, GTS, Turbo, GT3, GT2 RS — each tuned for different levels of street or track savagery.
The Turbo Was a Game-Changer: In 1975, the 911 Turbo brought forced induction to the 911 lineup, making it both a street rocket and a poster car for an entire generation.
GT3 = Purist Heaven: The naturally aspirated, high-revving GT3 and GT3 RS models are built with track DNA — no turbos, no nonsense, just pure driving thrill.
It’s a Daily-Drivable Supercar: Despite its insane capabilities, the 911 remains shockingly livable — comfortable seats, usable trunk, and refinement that rivals luxury sedans.

ten Unknown facts about Tesla

1. He Developed Wireless Energy Concepts – Tesla envisioned a system of wireless electricity transmission and even built the Wardenclyffe Tower to test it. Unfortunately, financial constraints led to its demolition.
2. He Claimed to Have Invented a "Death Ray" – Tesla spoke about a particle beam weapon called the "Teleforce," which he claimed could destroy entire armies. However, no working model was ever built.
3. Edison and Tesla Were Rivals, Not Enemies – While often portrayed as bitter enemies, their relationship was more complex. Tesla briefly worked for Edison and later competed with him in the "War of Currents."
4. He Had an Obsession with the Number 3 – Tesla was extremely particular about doing things in threes, such as walking around a building three times before entering and staying in hotel rooms with numbers divisible by three.
5. He Created a Remote-Controlled Boat in 1898 – Tesla demonstrated one of the earliest forms of wireless communication by controlling a small boat remotely using radio waves, which was groundbreaking at the time.
6. He Had a Photographic Memory – Tesla could memorize entire books and visualize complex machinery in his mind without needing to draw them out beforehand.
7. Tesla Allegedly Communicated with Extraterrestrials – He once claimed to have received radio signals from outer space, leading some to believe he might have detected signals from extraterrestrial life.
8. He Designed a Futuristic Flying Machine – Tesla sketched out concepts for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft resembling modern drones, but it was never built.
9. He Died Penniless and Alone – Despite his genius, Tesla spent his final years in a New York hotel, feeding pigeons and living in poverty.
10. Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. Was Not Directly Inspired by Him – While the company is named after Nikola Tesla, it was co-founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon Musk later joined and helped popularize the brand.
Tesla’s contributions to science and technology remain monumental, even if many of his ideas were ahead of his time.
