From Porsche 944 to Porsche Panamera, Porsche cars often have unsullied reputation and considered as one of the most preeminent luxury performance cars.

Porsche (Porsche Automobil Holding SE) is one of the most well-known luxury German carmaker. The Company was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche who designed the first Volkswagen car. The Company also holds majority shares of Volkswagen AG, which is the top selling car brand in Europe countries. See also VW Porsche merger.

Professor Ferdinand Porsche initially did not build any cars under “Porsche” name. One of the first few responsible the company took was to design the people’s car, the Volkswagen Beetle which is one of the most successful car designs of all time. Until 1939, the company built the first Porsche car, the Porsche 64.

During World War II, Porsche manufactured few tanks for the war. Is the performance we found in Porsche cars today derived from the efforts to build heavy tanks in the past? After World War II end, Porsche introduced another famous car, the Porsche 356. The 356 often refer to as Porsche first car because it was the first model sold by the fledgling company.

Lavishness, opulence, and extravagance best describe Porsche cars. For years, Porsche continuously built cars with satirical handling and copious power. Among the most famous Porsche cars are the Porsche 911, Porsche Cayman, Porsche 993, Porsche 968, and among others.
