Porsche, which is shortened to Porsche, is a German automobile manufacturer. It is based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. The name is a combination of the words “porsche” and “ag”. The company was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. Its cars are known for their performance and elegance. In the early years, Porsche was part of the Volkswagen-Audi joint venture, but eventually bought out the company. It went on to create its first front-engined car, the Porsche (924) in 1975. This car was a great success, rocketing sales and spawning a series of performance models. The 924 became the basis for the larger 944 and the 968. The 924 would go on to become one of the most recognizable sports cars ever.

After the 924, Porsche launched the 911 Turbo. The new model had a 2.0 flat-six engine and produced 130 bhp. Later on, the company released a 160-bhp version of the car. The new 911 Turbo had a lighter chassis and larger wheels. The new 911 was also equipped with a space-saving spare tyre. Porsche had been offering the 911 for a while, but it was not until autumn 1983 that the brand decided to make a fully convertible version. This version came with a cut-down windscreen and rudimentary hood. Today, the Porsche 911 GT2 is worth more than half a million pounds and is a collectible today.

Over the past 65 years, Porsche has been pioneering new technologies and products. Some of these innovations have improved vehicle performance and safety, while others have helped the automotive industry become more environmentally responsible. The company is also known for celebrating its motorsports heritage. It won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1951, and its racing cars have won over two thousand races worldwide.

Aside from its cars, Porsche is also known for its engineering expertise. The company’s subsidiary, Porsche Design, designs products ranging from watches to shoes. Even its logo is based on the coat of arms of the city of Stuttgart. The city was once the capital of the Free People’s State of Wurttemberg and even had a stud farm, which is reflected in the Porsche logo.
