Totally altruistic on Porsche's part.
This is just their way of thanking Peugeot 'lo those many years ago.
Think about it:
Nine Eleven. The words just roll off the tongue. Sounds exotic and wonderful. This car has made it's own history many times over, in large part because of the name.
Nine Oh One. The words fall flat, Something you would name an appliance, or a heating pad. The Whirlpool Nine Oh One.
This car would have been (was!) doomed to become a footnote in automotive history.
Thank You Corporate Porsche!!! Keep up the diligent work!
