When drivers had to start a race (I forget which series), they had to start out on foot with their cars parked.
With the ignition on the left, the driver can put the car in gear with his right hand and start it with his left at the same time, making it quicker, instead of starting it with your right and then putting it in gear with your right had.
@davewhodavedunn It might sound better in real life, you never know. Cameras pick things up strange sometimes. I was driving next to a turbo one on the freeway today and they goosed it, sounded great. Either way, its a easy fix.
if i snort alot of cocaine, drink some vodca, than smoke weed.....this may make all your videos seem not the exact same, with a different car (i.e gun it open mouth, wow....etc)
It is on the left side, because it was faster for the racers at Le Mans to start the car and just hop right in, one hand on the starter and the other on the shifter. That way they got a head start. Porsche celebrated this by incorporating into their automobiles and as a result of history and many wins they still have this in their automobiles today.
Its Porsche tradition, almost all Porsche's have had it like that. It has to do with speed of operation. Start the car with your left hand and put it in gear with your right.
@Rayyy24 I think it might also be that they just port the wheel over from the right side in the european versions so the whole assembly is just slid over.
The ignition on a Porsche is always on the left hand side due to it's racing heritage. The idea is that in a race, the driver has already started the car before he even jumps in his seat, rather then getting in then starting it. Can I have a bonus point? lol
@mercmilan06 You're kind of right, The point of it being on the left is so the driver can put the car in gear with his right hand and start it with his left at the same time, making it quicker, instead of starting it with your right and then putting it in gear with your right had.
@mercmilan06Nop,They actually put the ignition on the left because the cars weren't stated yet. In The 24 Hours of Le Mans races before 1970,The drivers started outside of the car on the opposite side of the track and ran across into their cars. Because the car had to be started by the driver himself, after he was in the car, they put the ignition on the left so that he can simultaneously Step his foot on the clutch, start the car, and shift into first.Fatser than the ignition being @ the rite
i love this Cayenne <3
