Porsche



Porsche SE or Porsche is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury high performance automobiles. Porsche SE holds two chief assets, the first of  is Porsche AG, manufacturer of the Porsche automobile line.  The second asset is a majority stake in Volkswagen Group, the largest car manufacturer in Europe, and the third largest in the world.

It was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, an Austro-Hungarian engineer. He is also known for designing the first Volkswagen. The company currently produces 911 (997), Boxster and Cayman sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles. 


The latest model line, the four-door Panamera saloon (sedan), was launched on Monday, 20 April 2009.

On 15 December 1945, Ferdinand was arrested for war crimes, but not tried. During his 20-month imprisonment. His son, Ferry Porsche, decided to build his own car as he could not find a car of his choice and also, he had to bring the company through it's most difficult days till his father is release. Thus, the first models of what was to become the 356 were built which is the core of the current cars made today for Porsche.

  3. Perhaps one of a brand that people used to pronounce wrongly, PORSH and not PORSHE-EH. Porsche is famous for their 911 and Boxster and have been one of the desires for most car manics.

  6. Definitely one of the many cars used by the rich (and maybe famous). It is more than a means of transportation, it is a car that shows one's status and wealth.

  9. Porsche all the while has been into High Luxury vehicles. I feel that their recent venture into SUV's and 4 door sedan is not a very wise move as they are tapping into a highly competitive market and their designs are somewhat losing the Porsche feel when being expanded.
