What is Porsche?


Everyone out there should already know this name (maybe some still not know) – PORSCHE. I never ride any Porsche’s car, but I’m looking forward to ride it, especially Cayman. People says, IT’S ROCK! So, let start with the introduction of Porsche. Just a short one.

Porsche SE or Porsche (German, pronounced [ˈpɔɹʃə]) is a German manufacturer of automobiles, which is majority-owned by the Porsche and Piëch families. Porsche SE holds two chief assets, the first of which is Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, often shortened to Porsche AG, manufacturer of the Porsche automobile line. The second asset is a large stake in Volkswagen AG. The company is headquartered in Zuffenhausen, a city district of Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg.

It was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, an Austro-Hungarian engineer, born in Maffersdorf, Austria-Hungary (today Vratislavice, Czech Republic). Also known the designer of the first Volkswagen, but the real, that was designed by Béla Barényi five years before. They currently produce 911 (997), Boxster and Cayman sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles. Porsche also makes a brand of mountain and hybrid bikes called Carrera.
