Porsche History (Continued from top)

Porsche Logo  

Ferdinand Porsche started with Volkswagen and produced the first Porsche model 64 in 1938, followed by the first production car, the Porsche 356, in 1948. Porsche has a long history of awards for style and function. The Porsche 550 Spyder was a successful racer but the Porsche 911, with a six-cylinder 'Boxer' engine, is the most well known. Porsche has always had a close relationship with Volkswagen, sharing features and technology, and many other automobile manufactures consult with Porsche engineers as well. In 1972 family issues lead to putting the day-to-day operation of the company in non-family hands but heirs to Ferdinand Porsche still hold controlling interest.
