Porsche could not use the name 901, so the bosses told production to scrap all the zeros, and order a lot more 1s and thus the 911 was born.
It is funny, almost everyone pronounces the 901 as Nine oh one, and never nine zero one which is the accurate way to say it. And most everyone calls the 911 nine eleven and not nine one one or nine hundred and eleven.
