The 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera is the base model in the model's lineup, but there's nothing entry-level about it. Looking at its stats, the 911 Carrera is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat six-cylinder engine that produces 379 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.

However, it was the heyday of auto racing in the ‘50s and ‘60s that cemented the link for good.

When it comes to vehicle features, few have names as eye catching as "suicide doors." The doors, which are hinged backward and open the opposite way to a standard door, are a bold stylistic choice that can add a touch of elegance (and arguably a sense of danger) to a vehicle. If you're wondering why they're called suicide doors, the answer is simple: the name is based on the perceived danger that comes with hinging a door at the back. If said door is a bit heavy — and a malfunction happens that causes the door to swing open — grabbing the handle in an attempt to close it could result in a driver or passenger being yanked out of the moving car and onto the road. If this were to happen, the door in question is also likely to hit them and ultimately see them off.
