Brand history

Founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche GmbH initially offered automotive design and consulting services. In 1948, his son, Ferry Porsche, designed the first car bearing the Porsche name, the 356 "No.1" Roadster, marking the beginning of Porsche's automotive production. The 356 was followed in 1964 by the legendary 911, an iconic model that has evolved over decades, solidifying Porsche's reputation in the high-performance sports car domain. Over the years, Porsche expanded its lineup to include models such as the Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Panamera, and Taycan, each contributing to the brand's legacy of innovation and performance.
